I am just going through the Learning Python book, and  I came accross
the example about how to retrieve information from the web.

I want to do this, but the web page (symantec's antivirus signature
update page--http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html) has a form
to ask which product you want, then runs a CGI script, and gives you
info back.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get by the form, and retrieve the
page that I want.  Once I get the page I will have no problems parsing
it.

TIA
