That error is due to the server that u are trying to access does not support your request HTTP versión, so you need to change it. May be, you need to send 1.0 HTTP request. 

import urllib2, httplib
httplib.HTTPConnection._http_vsn = 10
httplib.HTTPConnection._http_vsn_str = 'HTTP/1.0'
print urllib2.urlopen('your_url').read()

I highly recommend to use requests library to handle http requests from python.

  • http version specifying is not working for me. But **requests** worked. Thanks –  Mar 30 '16 at 17:40
  • What are the other useful methods in the **requests** packages, like *get()* ? –  Apr 01 '16 at 01:20
