REST API call inside python script

[_Askin_]

hello!
is it or how is it possible to use the REST API inside a python script, which is running on the MWS?
for example i want to call https://domain_name.mymobilesite.net...sence/location and process the returned XML data in the python script.

import urlib
content = urllib.urlopen("https://domain_name.mymobilesite.net/rest/presence/availability").read()

this code leads to the point where the phone (n95 8gb) asks for accesspoints, so it doesn´t use the already established internet connection of the MWS! an unusable behavior! any hints or other approaches to access the REST API?
THX for help!
