There is also the urlfetch service. urllib2 uses this, so for simple tasks urlfetch is usually a little easier. However urlfetch is specific to appengine, so that is a reason not to use it if you want portable code.

See docs https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/

import urllib2

url = "http://www.google.com/"
try:
  result = urllib2.urlopen(url)
  doSomethingWithResult(result)
except urllib2.URLError, e:
  handleError(e)
