[Tutor] urllib2 and cookies

[SwartMumba snake]

I want to read the html source off a site but the site requires cookies. What code must I use to handle my cookies, instead of me typing them out? NB I want to use urllib2 to open the site, not urllib. I am currently using python 2.5

This is what I have done so far, but I do not want to type out all the cookies.

import urllib2
data = urllib2.Request(url = "http://www.example.com", data = 'COOKIE:<xx;xx...>')
htmlSource = urllib2.urlopen(data).read()

Thanks in advance...
