import urllib2

def speak(status):

    def basic_authorization(user, password):
        s = user + ":" + password
        return "Basic " + s.encode("base64").rstrip()

    req = urllib2.Request("http://example.com/60/speak.json",
                  headers = {
       "Authorization": basic_authorization("2345670", "X"),
     "Content-Type": "application/json",


        "Accept": "*/*",   
        "User-Agent": "my-python-app/1", 
        },
                      data = '{"message":{"body":'+ status +'}}')

    f = urllib2.urlopen(req)


speak('Yay')
