curl -u equivalent in python

Question

I'm trying to download a file from a website which requires log-in. By command line it can easily be done via

curl --proxy-anyauth -p -c cookie -u user:psw -L url > file.ext

Any advices on how to do that in python? Thank you

I have never used this before however I think this could work.
Here is the link to PyCurl library

Thanks, I tried PyCurl, but in the end i choose to use requests. requests.get(url, auth=(user, pWord)) seems a far clearer way to me. – Biska Mar 04 '15 at 23:39
