Python equivalent for curl -b (--cookie)

I wish to convert a bash script that's currently using "curl -b 'coo开发者_高级运维kie'" into a Python script. I've looked at Pycurl, but I couldnt' find a -b equivalent. There are also urllib and urllib2, but I couldn't see an easy way to replicate the line.

Any help would be great.

This should get you started.

You can use CookieJar.add_cookie_header to add your cookie to a http request header.
