The best option for you is possibly using requests package. install it with pip install requests. An exapmple taken from their website is:

r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))

For further info check its documentation.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

requests.get("http://google.com:8070/api/v2/organizations",auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass'))

you should really read some docs and write some code... these things become really obvious with some very quick googling (ie "python http authentication request")
