There is another way using python famous library Requests

import requests

data = {
  "username": "user",
  "password": "pass",
}

URL = 'http://example.com'
r = requests.post(URL, data=data)

import urllib2

urllib2.urlopen('http://example.com', 'a=1&b=2')

will send a post request to http://example.com, with parameters a=1 and b=2

Django has little to do with it, but urrlib2.urlopen is a simple enough way to POST. Just call it with a second parameter data (the first one is the URL you're addressing) that has the application/x-www-form-urlencoded formatted data you're posting (as the docs say, use urllib.urlencode to encode a mapping, typically a dictionary, in that way).
