How do I make a PATCH request in Python?

Question

Is there a way to make a request using the PATCH HTTP method in Python?

I tried using httplib, but it doesn\'t accept PATCH as method param.

Seems to work in 2.7.1 as well.

>>> import urllib2
>>> request = urllib2.Request('http://google.com')
>>> request.get_method = lambda: 'PATCH'
>>> resp = urllib2.urlopen(request)
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 405: Method Not Allowed
