Stateful programmatic web browsing in Python, after Andy Lester’s Perl module WWW::Mechanize.

Stateful programmatic web browsing in Python, after Andy Lester’s Perl module WWW::Mechanize.

Some of the key features:

  • The browser class mechanize.Browser implements the interface of urllib2.OpenerDirector, so any URL can be opened not just http.
  • Easy HTML form filling.
  • Convenient link parsing and following.
  • Browser history (.back() and .reload() methods).
  • The Referer HTTP header is added properly (optional).
  • Automatic observance of robots.txt (can be disabled if desired).
  • Automatic handling of HTTP-Equiv and Refresh.

python-mechanize was created by John J. Lee. Maintenance was taken over by Kovid Goyal.
