The delicious api requires http authorization (actually https). A
generic delicious api post url is "https://

example.com/&description=interesting&tags=whatever".
This works fine when entered in the Firefox address bar. However
urllib2.urlopen(delicious_post_url) chokes and returns
"httplib.InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: 'passw...@api.del.icio.us".
Delicious really wants that authorization stuff embedded in the url as
it also rejected my attempts at using urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(),
etc.
Anybody have any hints?

What failure were you experiencing when you were using the
HTTPBasicAuthHandler?
Did you follow the sample code from the docs?
import urllib2
# Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication...
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
user='klem',
passwd='kadidd!ehopper')
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.com/login.html'
