1 Stateful programmatic web browsing, after Andy Lester's Perl module WWW::Mechanize.
3 Mechanize.Browser implements the urllib2.OpenerDirector interface.
4 Browser objects have state, including navigation history, HTML form state, cookies,
5 etc.
6 The set of features and URL schemes handled by Browser objects is configurable.
7 The library also provides an API that is mostly compatible with urllib2:
8 your urllib2 program will likely still work if you replace "urllib2" with "mechanize"
9 everywhere.
11 Features include: ftp:, http: and file: URL schemes, browser history, hyperlink and
12 HTML form support, HTTP cookies, HTTP-EQUIV and Refresh, Referer [sic] header,
13 robots.txt, redirections, proxies, and Basic and Digest HTTP authentication.
15 Much of the code originally derived from Perl code by Gisle Aas (libwww-perl),
16 Johnny Lee (MSIE Cookie support) and last but not least Andy Lester (WWW::Mechanize).
17 Urllib2 was written by Jeremy Hylton.
