Relevant request to select a public key from a public key server
import urllib
response = urllib.urlopen('http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/')
print 'RESPONSE:', response
print 'URL :', response.geturl()
headers = response.info()
print 'DATE :', headers['date']
print 'HEADERS :'
print '---------'
print headers
data = response.read()
print 'LENGTH :', len(data)
print 'DATA :'
print '---------'
print data

This spec should help you and stop asking the same question over and over :). Basically you need to make an HTTP GET request to the key server. Most key servers run on TCP port 11371, so you need to make sure your firewall will let you through.
For example, this url will give you the public key of God:
http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1278A1862492D908&options=mr
The answer is the key.
In python:
import urllib
f = urllib.urlopen('http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1278A1862492D908&options=mr')
data = f.read()
print data
