RELEASE: ClientForm 0.0.5

[jjl@pobox.com]

http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientForm/

Changes since 0.0.4b:
 * First stable release.
 * Parser now no longer reads entire file before starting to work on
   data.
 * Implemented ISINDEX submission, and updated documentation (see
   IsindexControl.__doc__).
 * Changed type attributes of BUTTON TYPE=SUBMIT and BUTTON TYPE=RESET
   to "submitbutton" and "resetbutton" respectively.  Previously, they
   were "submit" and "reset" respectively, which made it impossible to
   tell whether they came from a BUTTON or an INPUT control.
 * Minor documentation improvements.

Requires Python >= 1.5.2.

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.  It has developed from a port of Gisle
Aas' Perl module HTML::Form, from the libwww-perl library, but the
interface is not the same.

 import ClientForm
 import urllib2
 request = urllib2.Request("http://www.acme.com/form.html")
 response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
 forms = ClientForm.ParseResponse(response)
 form = forms[0]
 form["cheeses"] = ["parmesan", "leicester", "cheddar"]
 form.toggle("cheeses", "gorgonzola")
 form["author"] = "Gisle Aas"
 request2 = form.click("Thanks")
 response2 = urllib2.urlopen(request2)

 print response2.geturl()
 print response2.info()  # headers
 for line in response2.readlines():  # body
     print line
