ClientForm http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientForm/ I use it for automation of POSTs of entire image directories to imagevenue.com/imagehigh.com/etc hosts. Works above urllib2. You access forms by name or indice, then you access HTML elements as a dict attribute of the form. Support file upload within POST. The only drawback I've found are: - does not support nested forms (since forms are returned in a list) - does not like ill-formed HTML (Uses HTMLParser as the underlying parser. you may pass a parser class as parameter (say SGMLParser for greater acceptance of stupid HTML code) but it's tricky because there is no well defined parser interface) Hope this helps. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
