You should use urllib2 rather than urllib. You can see tutorials on
urllib2, and handling cookies if you need to at :
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/cookielib.shtml
*However*, this only handles fetching the web pages and posting data
back. You need something that will understand the web 'form' and fill
it in for you.
You probably want Mechanize *or* something like FormEncode. Google for
these.
All the best,
