Python HTML Data Collection

[Paul Barrett]

Hi,

   I'm fairly new to Python but I do have a little bit of experience from
a class I took which taught some Python. I'm working at a job where I
query a CGI script, collect the data and then post it to another CGI
script. My main question is whether I could write a python script which
would automate this process. Both of these scripts are on external
websites and I only need a select amount of the data. I thought that if
any language would do this job, then it would be Python, but I haven't
been able to find any information for something like this. Do you folks
have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul Barrett
