Caching Bearer Auth Token in Python requests

I am pulling a lot of data from api. Like this.

session = requests.Session()
response = session.post(url, 'auth'), verify=False, json={CREDENTIALS HERE})

head = {'Authorization': 'Bearer %s' % (response.json()['token'])}
response = requests.get(url, headers=head)

Is there any good way to save/cache the header and not get new token all the time?

You can make one request to the site using sessions and then do session.headers to get the headers that was sent back from the site and save it to a variable.

serverHeaders = r.headers
#r.headers is below

{'content-length': '56170', 'x-content-type-options': 'nosniff', 'x-cache':
'HIT from cp1006.eqiad.wmnet, MISS from cp1010.eqiad.wmnet', 'content-encoding':
'gzip', 'age': '3080', 'content-language': 'en', 'vary': 'Accept-Encoding,Cookie',
'server': 'Apache', 'last-modified': 'Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:33:50 GMT',
'connection': 'close', 'cache-control': 'private, s-maxage=0, max-age=0,
must-revalidate', 'date': 'Thu, 14 Jun 2012 12:59:39 GMT', 'content-type':
'text/html; charset=UTF-8', 'x-cache-lookup': 'HIT from cp1006.eqiad.wmnet:3128,
MISS from cp1010.eqiad.wmnet:80'}

In the documentation they have a lot of code examples for it.
