Use of Python library urllib

[jdrescher2006]

I don't have the requests library available on my system. Is it possible to do the same with only urllib?

I started with converting to urllib. First step is requesting landing page and get CSFR:

try:
    response = urllib.urlopen(base + '/portal/en_GB/web/guest/home')            
except urllib.error.HTTPError as e:
    print('HTTPError: {}'.format(e.code))
    return 0
except urllib.error.URLError as e:
    print('URLError: {}'.format(e.reason))
    return 0
print('Request OK!')    
csrf = extract_csrf(response.read())
print(csrf)

This works, i get for example: Ua5jtvrj

Next step is request login page:

data = urllib.urlencode({'headers': AUTHHEADERS})   
data = data.encode('ascii')
response = urllib.urlopen(base + '/portal/web/guest/home/-/csrftokenhandling/get-login-url', data)
print response.read()

Unfortunately this returns a html web page and not a json file as your code does. What could be the problem?

OK, I got the requests library running on my system. So I will close this.
