Submitting form (Python)

问题:

I have a page full of links like this:

<a href="javascript:Window('args')"> text here </a>

When the link is clicked a window pops up (using Javascript). The Javascript also creates the contents of the new window. (with innerHTML)

The content consists of a form like this:

<form method="post" action="/doaction.php">
    <input type="hidden" value="hashcode">
    /* code to insert data (textfields etc.) */
    <input type="submit">
</form>

What i'm trying to do is:

1. Filter all the links i need
2. clicking the first link to open the popup window
3. clicking the submit button to send the data

The first step shouldn't be to hard and i can figure that out myself.
However i have no clue how to do step 2 (but i can probably find some tutorials on how to click a link in Python) and step 3.

So any help on how to start with step 3 is highly appreciated.

(Also if i really shouldn't be doing this in Python, let me know)

You can use urllib2.urlopen to make a POST request to the script the form is submitting to.

import urllib, urllib2
url = '/doaction.php'
data= {'hashcode': 'blah', 'name':'blahblah', 'type':'blahblahblah'}
request = urllib2.Request(url, urllib.urlencode(data))
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
