PSN Authentication Question

Hi abl, I'm new to working with API's and I've done a lot of reading the past couple days learning about HTTP requests and specifically the Destiny API. I am using python and httplib2 to interact with the API, and I'm wondering if I can just run this script from within python and then make authenticated requests? If it's easier to just log in to PSN using python code (which you mentioned in your post) and you don't mind sharing your python code, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm not planning on releasing any services or websites or anything like that, I'm a junior computer science major and I just love messing with stuff like this. Thanks for all of your posts across this group, they've been really helpful!
