Hey rbt,



You should take a look at mechanize:


http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/



One of its listed features is 'Easy HTML form filling, using ClientForm


interface'.



A more recent option which came up on this group a few days ago is


twill: http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill.html



twill combines pyparsing & mechanize to provide a way of scripting


tests for web applications. While it might not offer the functionality


you're after (I haven't had call to use either of these), it looks very


accessible, and could provide some good examples for using mechanize


with your own scripts.
