I would guess it's because redhat requires your browser to submit a session cookie with the login form. In the urllib2 example, the first request you make tries to submit login form data directly. Since it's your first hit on their site, you don't have a cookie yet. People browsing interactively would at least load the login page first before submitting it. Your twill example takes care of this by requesting a page before trying to login. That would be my guess. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
