Have your tried urllib2.Request[1] to POST your login data, how a browser
would do it?
something like this:
Assuming login form:
class LoginForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField()
password = forms.CharField()
# your client script
post_data = {
'username': 'me',
'password': 'pass',
}
data = urllib.urlencode(post_data)
# sends data as a POST[2]
req = urllib2.Request(url='http://mydomain.tld/login', data=data)
resp = urllib1.urlopen(req)
[2] from the link below about the data parameter: Currently HTTP requests are
the only ones that use data; the HTTP request will be a POST instead of a GET
when the data parameter is provided.
Please note this is untested code. You might also want to see the urllib2
missing manual[3]
