Answer 1

First, there's a third way to run Python programs.

From cmd.exe, type python myprogram.py. You get a nice log. You don't have to type stuff one line at a time.

Second, check the urrlib2 documentation. You'll need to look at urllib, also.

A Request requires a URL and a urlencoded encoded buffer of data.

data should be a buffer in the standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. The urllib.urlencode() function takes a mapping or sequence of 2-tuples and returns a string in this format.

You need to encode your data.
