import urllib,urllib2,cookielib

passlst = open(passfile, 'r').readlines()
url="http://somesite"
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
TheForm = urllib.urlencode({"username":"myid","password":"mypas"})
request = urllib2.Request(url, TheForm)
result = urllib2.urlopen(request)
html=result.read()
result.close()
