import urllib import urllib2 url = "http://www.foo.com/"; data = {"name": "Guido", "status": "BDFL"} data = urllib.urlencode(data) request = urllib2.Request(url, data) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) page = response.read() So yeah, passing in a Request object to urlopen that has some urlencode'ed data in it. -- Corey Richardson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
