Looking for a generic XMLrequest and data extraction script

Question

Hello,

I am also looking for a Python script to do the following:

Send an http request to a remote geodata server and read the data into our existing Python geoprocessing scripts.

Is there a generic script available so that I can customise it for the project in hand?

Sincerely,

David

Take a look at Pycurl and Mechanize, they may help. For data extraction, check out the various xml libs for Python.
