Thanks for the help Martin, I am trying to write a bot to access information
from a web site which requires me to log in.  Since I have just started to
use Python a couple of months ago and have not used PyXML before I was
hoping to use this sample script as a learning tool since it was designed to
download the authors online bank statements.  Because this functionality
isn't supported any more I think I would be best learning the new method,
which brings me to my next question.

Are there any 'Introduction to PyXML' documents, describing the different
parts and giving examples?  I have looked in the xml-howto.txt in /xmldocs,
the section I think I need is 4.5 Processing HTML, which contains 'Intro to
HTML builder' :)

TIA
