Python and mechanize - view options in a select box

Question

My html form is as follows:

<form name="someform">
     <select name="someid">
          <option value ="option1">

I try to see all the options and be able to choose them.

I can select the form as follows:

br.select_form("someform")

I can print (br) and see the SelectControl that I want. If I do this:

print br["someid"]

which contains only the list, but contains only the first value. Is there an API for HTMLForm that I can look at?

Answer 1

I think what you want to do is print br.form. This only outputs the options in the form. In addition, if something in the form is a drop-down list, then the options for this drop-down list should also be displayed.

Then you can use BeautifulSoupto analyze the parameters.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

br.possible_items ( "someid" ) .
