Hello everyone, I'm a new comer... and

I am new to Python and still trying to learn its libraries.

Lately I am trying to write a program that automate the process of a browser game [php based]. Normally, a user can supply the website login page with a login name and password, plus some seeds [ not controlled by client , but viewable ]. Then it saves a cookie and continue to surf in the game in that session.

I am trying to do the same in a program. But unfortunately, I can simulate only to the fact I pass the string of login data ( and its seeds ), so basically I login for each page change/refresh and it is very inefficient. And until a stage I need to pass secondary data. I discovered it is impossible to do so without maintaining a connection.

urllib.urlopen('www.site.com', <login data + secondary data>)

Would anyone guide me to the way to maintain a connection so I do not need to connect each time?

I am using URLLIB to do the job. And if there is a good tutorial to explaining the details I would pretty appreciate it.

Thanks very much.

Lookup twill. That might be what you need. Also, pay attention to the license on any browser game - some forbid automation techniques.

I believe you might also need to take a look at cookielib. And if you haven't yet, there's an encoding method for urllib, to send POST data. You can find that by searching these Python forums.
