Apparently, the HTTPS does not matter, but it is still hanging on the
open(URL).  I am trying to login to Yahoo!.

Code below:
#!/usr/bin/python



import urllib

import urllib2

import mechanize

baseURL = 'https://login.yahoo.com/'
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.addheaders = [('User-Agent', 'Firefox')]
#try:
br.open(baseURL)


It just hangs until I kill it.  When I kill it, it gives me the
following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "FantasyHockeyLoginAndGetTeam.py", line 14, in <module>
    br.open(baseURL)

Thanks for any advice.
