I am using the API for challonge and their url format is https://username:password@challonge.com/api/.

However, when I use urllib2 in python to get this url

response = urllib2.urlopen('https://username:password@challonge.com/api/')

I get an error about a non-numerical port number. I believe this is caused by the colon (:) in the url making urllib2 think i’m trying to get a port of something.

Is there anyway around this issue, or am I doing something wrong?

    This is because you must use auth handlers like urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler or other.
