Correction for Raj's answer:

import urllib2
class RequestWithMethod(urllib2.Request):
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self._method = kwargs.pop('method', None)
    urllib2.Request.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

  def get_method(self):
    return self._method if self._method else super(RequestWithMethod, self).get_method()
