Very easily. Have a look at my article on the ``urllib2`` module.

You may need to use ClientCookie/cookielib to handle cookies and may
have to cope with BASIC authentication. There are also articles about

If you want to handle filling in forms programattically then the module
ClientForm is useful (allegedly).
