ANNOUNCING twill v0.7. twill is a simple Web scripting language built on top of Python and mechanize. It's designed for automated testing of Web sites, but it may be useful for anybody who needs to deal with Web sites (with e.g. logins and cookies) in a non-interactive manner.
twill is a reimplementation of Cory Dodt's PBP. A twill script looks like this: # go to the /. login page go http://slashdot.org/login.pl # fill in the form fv 1 unickname test fv 1 upasswd test submit # ok, there's no such account ;). show error HTML. show --- This is the first public release of twill, version 0.7. (Tagline: "It seems usable to me, but then I'm its author.") With this release, I'm looking for general feedback on usability, as well as suggestions on additional use cases.

In addition to the existing simple command language, twill can easily be extended with Python. twill also provides a fairly simple and well-documented wrapper around mechanize. twill scripts can be recorded with maxq, although scripts may require some hand tweaking at the moment. See the twill documentation for more information. twill does not understand JavaScript, I'm sorry to say. --titus, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
