Hi Joel, Thanks, This (the urllib2 methods you combined with cookielib) is what I am currently trying to do.
I would just like to retrieve all the field names and default values of a form. (Some forms are huge) and wondered thus whether there's already a python module parsing a html documents for forms , form fields and field vaules, returning an objcet. that could be modified and posted. bye N Joe Riopel wrote: > On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 9:04 AM, News123 <news...@free.fr> wrote: >> Hi, >> I'd like to do some web automation with python 2.5 >> - https: >> - a cookiejar >> - some forms to be filled in >> what is the best set of modules. > > I have automated some testing of our product, using it's web UI with > Python with urllib2 and urrlib.
