I think you will note that login_data is overwritten each password
loop. In the end of all of the above you have the last users followed
by a newline, followed by the last pass_list
You might want to think about putting the code below in a function
that can be called after print login_data above if you want to check
each username and password combination.

I don't think the above line provides login_data as specified by the
spec: http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html#module-urllib2
It looks like data needs to be tuples

Once you correct the top of your code I recommend Requests module
since its easier to understand, simpler, and better documented than
the standard url stuff. You can find it at
