Using Mechanize to Fill Out a Form

2008-12-16 Thread KDawg44 
Hi,

I am trying to use the Mechanize module to browse to a site, fill out
a form, and login.  However, it hangs on the opening of the URL.  The
URL is https, will this cause the open from mechanize to fail?

Thanks.

Apparently, the HTTPS does not matter, but it is still hanging on the
open(URL).  I am trying to login to Yahoo!.

Code below:
#!/usr/bin/python



import urllib

import urllib2

import mechanize

baseURL = 'https://login.yahoo.com/'
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.addheaders = [('User-Agent', 'Firefox')]
#try:
br.open(baseURL)


It just hangs until I kill it.  When I kill it, it gives me the
following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File FantasyHockeyLoginAndGetTeam.py, line 14, in module
br.open(baseURL)
  File build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/mechanize/_mechanize.py, line 209,

Thanks for any advice.
