[Web-SIG] Python version of WWW::Mechanize

[Simon Willison]

Perl's WWW::Mechanize module is awesome:

http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2003/01/22/mechanize.html

   my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();
   $agent->get("http://www.radiotimes.beeb.com/");
   $agent->follow("My Diary");
   $agent->form(2);
   $agent->field("email", $email);
   $agent->click();

Would something like this be a worthwhile consideration for the Python 
web modules in the standard library, or is it specialised to the point 
that it works better as a separately maintained module?
