You could use the builtin modules like urllib2, httplib, or you could use John Lee's spifftastic module "mechanize". I use mechanize a lot for automating downloading files from various partner websites my company has relations with.

I have done no network programming with python before. My router (a Linksys 54G model) stores the IP/MAC addresss in a web page. There is no way for me to access them except through the web. Righ now, I am using this code: command = 'lynx -reload -auth %s:%s -source http://%s/DHCPTable.asp > %s' % ( self.__log_name, self.__log_password, self.__router_address, temp_out1) (exit_status, out_text) = commands.getstatusoutput(command) The lynx terminal browser dumps the raw HTML page to the out_text, and I can then parse it. I would like to make the code independent of lynx, if possible.
