You could try a normal lookup and catch the authentication failed
error (401) to see whether you need a username/pwd. Then you can ask
for a username/pwd via normal python interaction and use the
following pseudo-code:

import pycurl

curl = pycurl.Curl()
curl.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, 'name:pwd')
[...]
curl.perform()

recent versions of curl also have separate CURLOPT_PASSWORD and
CURLOPT_USERNAME options, but I don't know if pycurl has those yet.

I am not sure about the interactions with SSL.
