I feel as if I'm getting closer, yet haven't successfully logged in yet. I have added in the missing key. I went to the django.contrib.auth.forms to find the name of the form that gets submitted in the login page. It seems to be called AuthenticationForm.
import requests login_url = "http://192.168.0.21/admin/login/" client = requests.session() client.get(login_url) csrftoken = client.cookies['csrftoken'] login_data = {'username':'jim', 'password':'beam', 'AuthenticationForm':'1', 'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrftoken} r = client.post(login_url, data=login_data) Basically after I do this from the python shell, I use another machine to log into the admin page and look at user logins, and the user is not logged in. Not sure how to proceed. On Monday, August 19, 2013 12:13:21 AM UTC-4, WongoBongo wrote: > > You were missing a key.
