You could use this to wrap urllib2   def URLRequest url  params  method  GET        if method     POST           return urllib2 Request url  data urllib urlencode params       else          return urllib2 Request url         urllib urlencode params     That will return a Request object that has result data and response codes

Even easier  via the requests module   import requests get response   requests get url  http   google com   post data     username   joeb    password   foobar     POST some form-encoded data  post response   requests post url  http   httpbin org post   data post data    To send data that is not form-encoded  send it serialised as a string  example taken from the documentation    import json post response   requests post url  http   httpbin org post   data json dumps post data     If using requests v2 4 2 or later  pass the dict via the json parameter and it will be encoded directly  post response   requests post url  http   httpbin org post   json post data

I know you asked for GET and POST but I will provide CRUD since others may need this just in case   this was tested in Python 3 7      usr bin env python3 import http client import json  print   n GET example   conn   http client HTTPSConnection  httpbin org   conn request  GET     get   response   conn getresponse   data   response read   decode  utf-8   print response status  response reason  print data    print   n POST example   conn   http client HTTPSConnection  httpbin org   headers     Content-type    application json   post body     text    testing post   json data   json dumps post body  conn request  POST     post   json data  headers  response   conn getresponse   print response read   decode    print response status  response reason    print   n PUT example    conn   http client HTTPSConnection  httpbin org   headers     Content-type    application json   post body    text    testing put   json data   json dumps post body  conn request  PUT     put   json data  headers  response   conn getresponse   print response read   decode    response reason  print response status  response reason    print   n delete example   conn   http client HTTPSConnection  httpbin org   headers     Content-type    application json   post body    text    testing delete   json data   json dumps post body  conn request  DELETE     delete   json data  headers  response   conn getresponse   print response read   decode    response reason  print response status  response reason
