Recognize user returning to URL from same device

I'm new to web programming, so I guess my question would seem very stupid :)
I have simple website on Python/Django. There is some url, which users may open without any authentication.
I need to remember this user somehow and recognize him when he re-opens this url once again (not for a long time - say, for several hours).
By "same user" I mean "user uses same browser on same device".
How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance :)

Coookies are your answer. They will work for any URL for the same browser. assuming your user has agreed to use them.
An alternative would be to tag the links with parameters, but that is specific to the link and could be shared with others.

Python Script; Logging into site

I am trying to log into a site,
https://www.telenor.no/privat/minesider/logginnfelles.cms?skin=telenor, with my user credentials. That site then redirects to https://www.telenor.no/privat/minesider/minside/minSide.cms.
I have tried all the different propsed solutions that I have found, but nothing has worked so far.. Is there someone out there that has a solution? Would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure how your attempting to log into the website, but here's an article that shows how it's done in python. Maybe post your code on here so we can get an idea of what's going on.

How can i login to stackoverflow site with Scrapy python

I have just started learning scrapy and i want to try some prasing with python and Scrapy.
I am thinking of getting the list of questions from specific tags, which i have posted, and then parse them on SO.
But i am not sure how can i log with open id and Scrapy.
Can some please guide me with this on which url i have to submit the data because when i will type the openid then site gets transfered to openid url so how can i enter password there

Use your RSS feed (basically xml).
One other way I can think of is to:
Login normally in browser
export cookies to file
use that file in script
I can think of a situation where fanatic badge would become less valued. Because, then people would simply schedule cron on their server to visit SO every day! So, I advice not doing anything of this sort.

Here is a good example how to simulate a user login request using scrapy.

Login and upload file at website with python

I'm making a python script that should zip a file and upload it at a site. My problem is I can't figure out how to login into the site to then upload the file in question.
I've searched trough the web but can't make any of the solutions presented online to work, probably because I don't understand most of them (my knowledge of cookies is quite limited).
The site in question is CurseForge. If anyone could point me into the right direction, it would be great.

You can check this variant of httplib2 http://gnu.gabrielfalcao.com/bolacha/#uploading-a-file , it has examples on that page. You can get the code from http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/bolacha/tree/master

I ended up solving the issue using Requests.
