Python equivalent of PHP curl request

Question

I'm using Rauth for my queries to the Beatport API. I'm using this working example in PHP as reference.

This PHP code below uses a request token to log in and authenticate for 3-legged auth

ini_set('max_execution_time', 500);
$submit = "Login";
$url = $auth_submiturl;

$curl_connection_bp = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11");
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, false); // when true, this outputs the oauth_token and oauth_verifier value that are posted to the callback URL
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_REFERER, $curl_connection_bp);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 0);
$post_string = 'oauth_token='.$request_token_info['oauth_token'] . '&username=' . $beatport_login . '&password=' . $beatport_password . '&submit=Login';
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl_connection_bp, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
$beatport_response = curl_exec($curl_connection_bp);
$beatport_response = json_decode($beatport_response);

print_r($beatport_response);

How can I achieve this in Python? I think I need to use urllib, but I can't understand the PHP code.

use pycurl it is a python implementation of lib curl.

import pycurl
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://www.python.org/")
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Accept:"])
...

you can find more examples and documentation here http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/doc/curlobject.html

Why not just use requests? http://www.python-requests.org/en/latest/

This library should be able to do what this php code is doing easily.

You should use urlopen to issue requests.

A simple example:

import urllib2
result = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com/")
print result.read()

Read more here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html

Google urlopen code examples, and you will find what you need.

I wouldn't bother trying to convert PHP code into python, but instead just search for a Python way of getting this answer. A little googling and it looks like this might be a duplicate:
