ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: urllib - python-3.x

Question

I am not a python guru I am just writing a code to check my api authentication and URL access status. I just want to assure that my api and domain url is accessible to users.
For the above reason I am writing a python script which can check and a cron can send an alert to me.
Here is my Code:
def check(argv):
# I'm going to use argpase.It makes
# command-line args a breeze.
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-H', '--hostname', dest='hostname', required=True)
parser.add_argument('-a', '--auth_id', dest='authenticationid')
parser.add_argument('-t', '--auth_token', dest='authenticationtoken')
parser.add_argument('-r', '--dest_url', dest='dest_url',help="""Path to report relative to root, like /v1/ OR /""", required=True)
parser.add_argument("-q", "--quiet", action="store_false", dest="verbose", default=True,
help="don't print status messages to stdout")
args = vars(parser.parse_args())
if args['authenticationid'] and args['authenticationtoken'] and not len(sys.argv) == 7:
authurl = urllib.request.Request('https://{%s}:{%s}#%s%s/%s/' %(args['authenticationid'],args['authenticationtoken'],args['hostname'], args['dest_url'],args['authenticationid']))
return (getAuthResponseCode(authurl))
else:
url = urllib.request.Request("https://%s%s" %(args['hostname'], args['dest_url']))
return(getResponseCode(url))
def getResponseCode(url):
try:
conn = urllib.request.urlopen(url,timeout=10)
code = conn.getcode()
return (status['OK'], code)
except timeout:
return (status['WARNING'], logging.error('socket timed out - URL %s', url))
except urllib.error.URLError as e:
return (status['CRITICAL'], e.reason)
else:
return (status['UNKNOWN'])
def getAuthResponseCode(authurl):
try:
authconn = urllib.request.urlopen(authurl, timeout=10)
authcode = authconn.getcode()
return (status['OK'], authcode)
except timeout:
return (status['WARNING'], logging.error('socket timed out - URL %s'))
except urllib.error.URLError as err:
return (status['CRITICAL'], err.reason)
else:
return (status['UNKNOWN'])

I know this is not write my code forum but I am helpless and looking for some help.If some one can tell where exactly I went wrong so that I can fix it.
I am using python3.

Answer 1

You're passing ʹhttps://user:pass#whateverʹ as the url.
Python doesn't understand you're trying to authenticate, and thinks you're passing ʹhttps://domain:port...ʹ
To do basic auth with urllib, you need to use a urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler
Sorry I'm not posting links and/or example code, but I'm typing this on my phone, and it makes those a pain.
