fetch and save http response before redirect using mechanize

I am trying to fetch a sample page in python

import mechanize
 def viewpage(url):
  browser = mechanize.Browser()
  page = browser.open(url)
  source_code = page.read()
  print source_code
viewpage('https://sama.com/index.php?req=1')

However everytime it will get redirected to index2.php (by a location header from webserver) thus for example the code print the response from index2.php rather than index.php is there anyway to avoid that?

You can use urllib2 or requests for more complex stuff.

import urllib2

response = urllib2.urlopen("http://google.com")
page_source = response.read()

urllib2 is a built-in module and requests is 3rd party.
