Mechanoid programmatic browser

A couple of days ago, Nate sent me a link to mechanoid. Here’s the Cheese Shop description:

Mechanoid is a programmatic browser written in Python. It is intended as a back-end for unusual browsers, such as voice-text interfaces for the handicapped. Mechanoid is a fork of John J. Lee’s mechanize.

According to Nate, the Perl version of mechnize is quite cool and makes automating web tasks very simple. I could see how having a Python fork of that code would be handy. Bookmarked.
