curl

I am relatively new (as in a few days) to Python - I am looking for an example that would show me how to post a form to a website (say www.example.com).

I already know how to use Curl. Infact, I have written C+++ code that does exactly the same thing (i.e. POST a form using Curl), but I would like some starting point (a few lines from which I can build on), which will show me how to do this using Python.
