Package: python-mechanize (0.1.11-1)

stateful programmatic web browsing

A library for browsing the web in Python. Mechanize acts like a browser allowing you to do web scraping, functional testing of web sites and things no one has thought of yet.

Among other things, mechanize: 

 * Follows links
 * Fills in HTML forms
 * Automatically observes robots.txt
 * Has a browser history

It was modelled after the Perl module WWW::Mechanize.
