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.
Kevin
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>

Thanks for any advice.
