Or even just urllib? import urllib foo = urllib.urlopen("http://gun.io).read() print foo I mean...maybe urllib (or urllib2) are old and unhip at this point, but they're heavily documented. I use urllib all over my projects and have never encountered any problems.

In fact, it's even better than what the author said: import requests print requests.get('http://gun.io').content Only two lines!

  Well...urllib is the same import urllib print urllib.urlopen('http://gun.io').read() And to be clear, you'd really never want to just print the content like that. You'd be doing something like. import urllib import simplejson req = urllib.urlopen("https://graph.facebook.com/some_id") response = req.read() json_data = simplejson.loads(response) (Python is syntactically pretty, imho)

    In one statement: print __import__('requests').get('http://gun.io').content
