Question

I have made a simple web form in Google app engine where I have added a recaptcha component.
The component is showing up on my web page. But i have no idea how to make the api call.
my code is;

def post(self):

    challenge = self.request.get('recaptcha_challenge_field')
    response  = self.request.get('recaptcha_response_field')
    remoteip  = os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR']
    private_key = 'xxx'

    cResponse = self.request.submit(http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/verify?privatekey="private_key"&remoteip="remoteip"&challenge="challenge"&response="response")

    if cResponse.is_valid:
        # response was valid
        # other stuff goes here
        pass
    else:
        error = cResponse.error_code

its pretty clear that my api call is completely wrong but i have no idea how to make it.
The examples i have seen use the plugin.

Use the URL Fetch API documented here, the first example in the linked page should be suitable for your needs.
Notice that url fetches have a quota and are billable.
