I had the same trouble. There was a redirect after login a had to 
follow. Look at the following code.

     def login(self):
         ''' Log into web site. '''

         self._br.set_handle_redirect(True)
         cj = CookieJar()
         self._br.set_cookiejar(cj)
         self._br.open(Config.urlLogin)
         self._br.select_form(name='login')

         self._br['session_key'] = Config.username
         self._br['session_password'] = Config.password
         response=self._br.submit()
         self._br.set_response(response)
         for link in self._br.links(url_regex="www.somesite.com"):
             self._br.follow_link(link)
         if 'Sign In' in self._br.title():
             raise ValueError('Wrong password')
