I have seen questions like this asked many many times but none are helpful Im trying to submit data to a form on the web ive tried requests, and urllib and none have worked for example here is code that should search for the [python] tag on SO: import urllib import urllib2 url = 'http://stackoverflow.com/' # Prepare the data values = {'q' : '[python]'} data = urllib.urlencode(values) # Send HTTP POST request req = urllib2.Request(url, data) response = urllib2.urlopen(req) html = response.read() # Print the result print html yet when i run it i get the html soure of the home page here is an example of using requests: import requests data= { 'q': '[python]' } r = requests.get('http://stackoverflow.com', data=data) print r.text same result! i dont understand why these methods arent working i've tried them on various sites with no success so if anyone has successfully done this please show me how! Thanks so much!
