python - How do I return a urllib2 response object from within a Django view? -

i know can use shortcuts module make easier see if manually tried create , return response object myself not work:

import urllib2  def djangoview(request):      data = '<byte string>'     open('body.txt', 'wb').write(data)      headers = {'content-type' : 'something', 'accept' : 'somethingelse'}     newresponse = urllib2.request('file:body.txt', none, headers)      return httpresponse(newresponse) 

i don't understand trying do. it's contract of view returns instance of django.http.httpresponse - not allowed return else. doing not shortcut, it's necessity.
