Python PUT using only urllib2

[Dujith]

Having an issue with programming for a Gira Homeserver. Its a restricted device which runs python 2.7 and has urllib2 as a library i can use.

Problem is that the HUE lamps i want to control only react to PUT and will block GET for setting values.

 

So my first try was a module with:

payload={'on':False}
requests.put('http://"ip adress"/api/"api key"/lights/1/state', json=payload)

Since that was the easiest way and works  

But the homeserver does not have the requests lib and gave me an error.

 

Now my python coding is basic at best and i'm kinda stumped on how to do this with urllib2. Tried to search but the general consensus is to use requests

That hack wont work for me sadly.

Tho i am now trying the httplib and so far PUT seems to work. Just have to rework everything
