I would recommend just added the authorization header directly to the
request versus using the basic auth handler. I have included some sample
code below of how I have been doing it.
username = 'twitter'
password = 'twitter'
basic = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password))[:-1]
I know it is not exactly the same service, but when I authenticate against
the Twitter Stream API using basic auth and python I set the Realm = None
when I call add_password on the basic auth handler.
