mechanize the Python module started as a port of Andy Lester's Perl
module WWW::Mechanize (in turn based on Gisle Aas' libwww-perl), and
on some very high level has "the same" conceptual interface, but most
of the details (internal structure, features and bugs ;-) are
different to LWP and WWW::Mechanize due to the integration with
urllib2, httplib and friends, and with my own code.  Most parts of the
code are no longer recognisable as having originated in LWP (and of
course, lots of it *didn't* originate there).
