Thanks it works...was calling extract on the wrong object...
I made it work with "urllib2" module also..
Here is the sample of working code, that others can use or improve upon.

Example of doing a HTTP post....using python interface from C++ and
reading the return response
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
        
        // do the following initially...
        Py_Initialize() ;      
        boost::python::object http = boost::python::import("urllib2");

        // the following code can be called any number of times...

        try 
        {
                std::strPostBody("<test/>"); // posting xml using
http-post..can be other stuff..
                boost::python::object response = http
.attr("urlopen")(strURI.c_str(),strPostBody.c_str());
                boost::python::object read = response.attr("read")();
                std::string strResponse =
boost::python::extract<char*>(read);	
        }
        catch(...)
        {
                PyErr_Print();
                PyErr_Clear();
        }

Again, try printing response:

       print response

also,

       print type(response)

That should be revealing.  This is not a Boost.Python problem.
