mechanize select form using id
I found this as a solution for the same problem. br is the mechanize object:
formcount=0for frm in br.forms(): if str(frm.attrs["id"])=="sblock": break formcount=formcount+1br.select_form(nr=formcount)I'm sure the loop counter method above could be done more pythonic, but this should select the form with attribute id="sblock".
For any future viewers, here's another version using the predicate argument. Note that this could be made into a single line with a lambda, if you were so inclined:
def is_sblock_form(form): return "id" in form.attrs and form.attrs['id'] == "sblock"br.select_form(predicate=is_sblock_form)Source: https://github.com/jjlee/mechanize/blob/master/mechanize/_mechanize.py#L462
