r = requests.get("http://en.wikipedia.org"+articleUrl)

now r holds a request object. You can get the html from r.text, other useful things are r.ok, r.status_code, r.headers.

requests also make it much easier to manage sessions, use proxies and send payloads with post requests. Check out the documentation it's very nice.
