I am trying to use urllib2 to open url and to send specific cookie text to the server. E.g. I want to open site Solve chess problems, with a specific cookie, e.g. search=1. How do I do it?

I am trying to do the following:

import urllib2
(need to add cookie to the request somehow)
urllib2.urlopen("http://chess-problems.prg")

Thanks in advance

This answer is not working since the urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3. You need to do 

from urllib import request
opener = request.build_opener()
opener.addheaders.append(('Cookie', 'cookiename=cookievalue'))
f = opener.open("http://example.com/")
