mechanize forms are ClientForm forms. Quoting from mechanize.Browser.select_form().__doc__: """ Another way to select a form is to assign to the .form attribute. The form assigned should be one of the objects returned by the .forms() method. """ forms = list(br.forms()) br.form = pick_a_form(forms, br.global_form()) The "global form" (couldn't think of a better term) consists of all form controls not contained in any FORM element.
