Please have a look at the urllib documentation, at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-urllib.html
A simple example follows:
"""
import urllib
f=urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org/")
s=f.readlines()
print s[0]
#'<HTML>\012'
print s[1]
#'<!-- THIS PAGE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED. DO NOT EDIT. -->\012'
