So I just make a file called /etc/router_passwords  and include
something like
WRT54G username password

Then parse the file, and supply the info to the password handler? This
is easy to do, and I guess it is secure.

The book "Foundations of Python Network Programming" has a sample program that uses a custom urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr to ask the user for the username and password, maybe you would like to use that?


The examples can be downloaded from the book Web site at

Look for the one called dump_info_auth.py
