I'm trying to fill out "name" form from specific website, I am new to mechanize and i'm not really sure how to use it, I have tried a lot of solutions... But this is what i've gone by far:
import mechanize
import cookielib
import re
NAME = "whatever"
def login():
Browser = mechanize.Browser()
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
Browser.set_cookiejar(cj)
Browser.set_handle_robots(False)
Browser.set_handle_gzip(True)
Browser.set_handle_redirect(True)
Browser.set_handle_referer(True)
Browser.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)
Browser.open('http://arkhamnetwork.org/community/login/login')
print [form for form in Browser.forms()][0] # Tried to see all forms
Browser.select_form(nr=0)
Browser.form["cdf254f828f75d57e0320558987a137d"] = NAME
Browser.submit()
return browser
login()
and i'm constantly getting this error:
mechanize._form.ControlNotFoundError: no control matching name 'cdf254f828f75d57e0320558987a137d'
This is what i get from: print [form for form in Browser.forms()][0]:
<CheckboxControl(visible=[*1])>
<HiddenControl(_xfToken=) (readonly)>>
However in page source, Name of the first form was: cdf254f828f75d57e0320558987a137d
Question:
How can i fix this? Is there any other proper way to fill out forms in Mechanize?

I have tried logging in to the above mentioned website using python mechanize.
But it gives the following error.
" ValueError: unknown POST form encoding type
'multipart/form-data;charset=utf-8' "
Ended up using requests. Turns out that I was not submitting all the details that the end-point expects. For future references anyone looking to submit any forms using POST make sure you submit all the form parameters that the end point expects. These parameters have a attribute name in their tags or You could also do Ctrl+Shift+I and look for the form parameters in the Network section.
I'm new to mechanize, and i don't quite understand how does it work, I tried a lot of tutorials, but most of them were outdated and didn't work.
First question is, What effect does Mechanize make? does it fill forms in specific browser so end-users can see it, Or does it make everything in Mechanize browser that cannot be seen by end-user?
I'm trying to make Mechanize fill out the form, Form changes input name after reloading page, How can i change its value by number?
import mechanize
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.addheaders = [("User-agent","Mozilla/5.0")]
gitbot = br.open("https://arkhamnetwork.org/community/register")
br.select_form(nr=0)
br["user[username]"] = "username"
br["user[email]"] = "email"
br["user[password]"] = "password"
sign_up = br.submit()
Error i am getting after executing code:
NameError: name 'username' is not defined
I want to fill out all the forms on the page, without using input name, How can i do it?
I have found solution:
Forms are actually containing controls, Thats why i needed to select form.
Code that fills out forms on this specific website:
import mechanize
br = mechanize.Browser()
response = br.open("https://arkhamnetwork.org/community/register")
br.addheaders = [("User-agent","Mozilla/5.0")]
gitbot = br.open("https://arkhamnetwork.org/community/register")
br.select_form(nr=1)
br.set_all_readonly(False)
br.form.set_value("test", nr=0)
br.method = "POST"
response = br.submit()
print response.geturl('http://arkhamnetwork.org/community/register/register')
I use mechanize to log in, but then after I submit the logging in details and I sign in successfully I'm not sure how to keep the session active and fill in the next form. Could anyone give me some tips?
from mechanize import Browser
br = Browser()
br.open("http://example.com")
br.select_form(nr=0)
br['username'] = 'user'
br['password'] = 'pass'
br.submit()
Session would be still active, just continue using br Browser instance.
Print out the current url and see that you passed the "log in" stage:
print br.geturl()
I am trying to use python / mechanize to login to yahoo mail. I am new to mechanize, but is there This is what I have, why is it saying no form named "login"
import mechanize
url = "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=us&.src=ym"
import re
import mechanize
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.open(url)
br.select_form(name="login")
br.close()
Screen shot below of yahoo mail website. Thanks
You can get all the form's names with
for form in br.forms():
print form.name
Since there are probably only a few forms on this page, the name should be obvious. Otherwise, you can get the form id similarly; you should be able to get it with
br.select_form(nr=0)
or br.select_form(nr=1)
since some forms may not have a name.
I am using python and mechanize to login into a site. I can get it to login, but once I am in I need to have mechanize select a new form and then submit again. I will need to do this 3 or for times to get to the page I need. Once I am logged in how od I slect the form on the 2nd apge?
import mechanize
import urlparse
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.open("https://test.com")
print(br.title())
br.select_form(name="Login")
br['login_name'] = "test"
br['pwd'] = "test"
br.submit()
new_br = mechanize.Browser()
new_br.open("test2.com")
new_br.select_form(name="frm_page2") # where the error happens
I get the following error.
FormNotFoundError: no form matching name 'frm_page2'
Thanks for the help.
You can't use name=' ' when finding a form because Mechanize already uses 'name' itself.
If you want to find something by name, you need to do:
br.select_form(attrs={'name': 'Login'})
