Simulating a Web Browser in Python

[Brian Fritz]

I've just taken up Python programming after using the other "P" language.

After checking through the standard library and a couple of web sites I've
not found (or maybe I didn't notice) a decent library that would allow me
to write a simulated web browser.

I need to be able to read and write into edit controls and accept and
return cookies.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I was wondering if someone could point me
at something I've missed, overlooked, or wouldn't know look for.

TIA

Brian
