So, I have the tables from the page in a list. Taking a hint from
Shawn's example, I can get this:
(Pdb) tables[0].input
I need to now parse this input tag into it's separate elements so I
can get at 'name' and 'value'.
Ooh, it appears I can do this:
tables[0].input.get('name')
tables[0].i

Okay, I've got that installed. I've figured out enough BS to get me a
single row of the table into a list comprised of elements like:
