How can I log into a website using python?

Question

I\'ve seen this other question: How to use Python to login to a webpage and retrieve cookies for later usage?

However, a straightforward modification of that answer

Answer 1

Try with mechanize:

import mechanize
br=mechanize.Browser()
br.open('https://mog.com/hp/sign_in')
br.select_form(nr=0) 
br['user[login]']= your_login
br['user[password]']= your_password
br.submit()
br.retrieve('http://mog.com/my_mog/playlists','playlist.html')

EDIT:
to get your links you can add this:

for link in br.links():
    print link.url, link.text

or, starting from playlist.html, you could use Beautifulsoup and regex:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re
soup = BeautifulSoup(file('playlist.html').read())
for link in soup.findAll('a', attrs={'href': re.compile("your matching re")}):
    print link.get('href')
