Weird HTTP response

[league55]

I saved the Response object as an html file and opened it in my browser. Here's the code I used to make the request:

def get_response(url):
    """Obtains Response object from page at url, with error-checking.

        :url:           Url accessed.

        :returns:       Response object.
    """
    try:
        response = requests.get(url, headers=HEADER, timeout=TIMEOUT)
        print("Response code: {}.".format(response.status_code))
        try:
            response.raise_for_status()
        except Exception as HTTPerror:
            print("HTTP error on url {}: {}.".format(url, HTTPerror))
        return response
    except Exception as error:
        print("Error in get_response(): {}.".format(error))

Would loading the response object into a Python script permit me to access all of its methods and attributes, now that I've saved it as an html file using "bw" and encode("utf-8). If that's the case, I can just upload the object somewhere and give you a password to download it.

Thanks for your help.
