Authentication issue using requests on aspx site

Question

I am trying to use requests (python) to grab some pages from a website that requires me to be logged in. I did inspect the login page to check out the username and password head

You need to use strings for the keys, the $ will cause a syntax error if you don't:

  data = {"ctl00$MainContent$txtPassword":password, "ctl00$MainContent$txtEmailID":email}

There are evenvalidation fileds etc.. to be filled in also, follow the logic from this answer to fill them out, all the fields can be seen in chrome tools:
