The attached script, when edited to fill in valid LiveJournal credentials (or InsaneJournal, if you change the URL and user list) fails for me in a very odd way. It fetches the first two URLs quite happily, and returns a 401 on the third after querying my password manager about 6 times (always the third, no matter what the user list is). Rebuilding the opener each time around the loop doesn't fix it. Recreating the HTTPDigestAuthHandler (and then rebuilding the opener) does fix it. Seems like any given instance of HTTPDigestAuthHandler fails on the third hostname. Python package version 2.5.1-5ubuntu5.2. Haven't tried it on newer versions.
