[Answer]-Handling CSRF tokens in Django

I got it working and this is how I did it. Like suggested by toto_tico I worte a dummy view that I retrieve thought GET to get the CSRF token. At first it didn’t send the csrf token over GET so I had to add the decorator ensure_csrf_cookie.

@ensure_csrf_cookie
def dummy(request):
    return HttpResponse("done")

And then I handle login requests normally.

def my_login(request):
    ...handle login...

It turned out that just adding the cookie to the POST wasn’t enough, I had to write a token to the POST data as well.

def _helper(self, url, method="POST"):
    req = urllib2.Request(host + url)
    self.cookieMgr.add_cookie_header(req)
    try:
        if method == "GET":
            response = self.opener.open(req)
        else:
            for cookie in self.cookieMgr:
                if cookie.name == "csrftoken":
                    csrf = cookie.value
            values = { "csrfmiddlewaretoken" : csrf}
            params = urllib.urlencode(values)
            response = self.opener.open(req, params)
            code = response.getcode()
            info = response.info()
            content = response.read()
            return code, info, content
    except urllib2.HTTPError as ex:
        print str(ex)
        sys.exit(1)

def get_csrf(self):
    url = "/license/dummy"
    self._helper(url, method="GET")

def login(self, username, password):
    self.get_csrf()
    url = "/license/login?username=%s&password=%s" % (username, password)
    code, info, content = self._helper(url)
    if code == 200:
        #done!
