urllib2 get response through error

I am trying to log onto a website that throws me a "401: Authentication Required" error and then crashes. The script crashes on the urllib2.open(url) so I cannot currently read the response. How can I get the data from this response other than the error?

Take a look at http://docs.python.org/howto/urllib2.html

    >>> req = urllib2.Request('http://www.python.org/fish.html')
    >>> try:
    >>>     urllib2.urlopen(req)
    >>> except HTTPError, e:
    >>>     print e.code
    >>>     print e.read()
    >>>
    404

    ...... etc...
