Mechanize is a Python library used for automating interaction with websites. It acts like a web browser that can navigate web sites, submit forms, and download data.
In this tutorial, we will cover how to use Mechanize in Python to perform some common web automation tasks.
To use Mechanize in your Python code, you'll first need to install it. You can do this using pip:
pip install mechanize
The following code demonstrates how to use Mechanize to submit a form on a website:
import mechanize
browser = mechanize.Browser()
browser.open("https://example.com/")
# Fill out the form
browser.select_form(nr=0)
browser["username"] = "myusername"
browser["password"] = "mypassword"
# Submit the form
browser.submit()
# Print the response
print browser.response().read()
Mechanize can also be used to download files from websites. The following code demonstrates how to download a file using Mechanize:
import mechanize
browser = mechanize.Browser()
browser.open("https://example.com/")
# Find the link to the file
link = browser.find_link(text="Download")
# Download the file
browser.follow_link(link)
response = browser.response()
# Save the file
with open("example.txt", "wb") as file:
file.write(response.read())
print("File downloaded successfully.")
In this tutorial, we learned how to use Mechanize in Python for web automation tasks such as form submission and file downloading. Mechanize offers a simple and powerful API for automating interactions with websites.
