twill experts,
I also posted this on StackOverflow, if you like to reply there:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7278103/using-twills-builtin-mechanize-distribution-throws-attributeerror-on-debug
Using twill's builtin mechanize distribution throws AttributeError on _debug?
I use twill (0.9) and I want to also access its builtin mechanize distribution
(on Python 2.6.6).
I read all the documentation and I'm not clear whether they even support or
recommend that, if so they certainly don't publicize it (you might like to
document that).
It seems you can do:
import _mechanize_dist as mechanize
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.open('http://www.yahoo.com')
however mechanize throws the stupid AttributeError below on
`robotparser._debug`. Should I not be trying to use it? or is it a 2.5/2.6
incompatibility?
(Twill itself works fine: `twill.commands.go('http://www.yahoo.com')`)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#19>", line 1, in <module>
br.open('http://www.yahoo.com')

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_debug'
(Last question is: I'm not aware of any caveats about using both twill and
mechanize commands side-by-side?)
Thanks,
Stephen
