Really? The second link is for ClientForm, the description of which reads:

"ClientForm is a Python module for handling HTML forms on the client side,
useful for parsing HTML forms, filling them in and returning the completed
forms to the server."

That seems to exactly fulfil your requirements. Are you sure you really
looked?

Yep definately looked, but overlooked that, wasnt really looking for a
premade routine to do it all but I can learn from that! thanks for pointing
it out, looks like what I need

Thanks
