There's an included class called a session which automatically handles this sort of thing for you. You can create an instance of it, and then call get and set right on that instance instead.

import requests

URL1 = 'login prompt page'
URL2 = 'login submission URL'

session = requests.Session()

r = session.get(URL1)
r2 = session.post(URL2, data="username and password data payload")
