Python - Retrieving data from web server

Question

I am making a program where I need to get information from a web server (I'm using Django) and then I'd send data back to the server.

The thing is I can only find ways to get information from the html page of the url I requested.

How could I use a Python script to get data from the web server? (like making a Django db query but outside Django, using only Python) I want to be able to get the information stored in Django without having to go directly to the website (that is, using a Python script).

Thanks in advance,

Your question is unclear. Do you mean to say you want to write a script that will access the database of your Django server directly? (See, you say "a web server", "the web server", "the website". It is unclear which server you are talking about.) — Louis

I guess you'll want to use a REST framework. The most used are django-rest-framework and tastypie
