I'm trying to use requests to login to a website but as you can guess I'm having a problem
here's the the code that I'm using
import requests
EMAIL = '***'
PASSWORD = '***'
URL = 'https://portal.bitcasa.com/login'
client = requests.session(config={'verbose': sys.stderr})
login_data = {'username': EMAIL, 'password': PASSWORD,}
r = client.post(URL, data=login_data, headers={"Referer": "foo"})
print r
and if I print out r.text I get
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head><script type="text/javascript">var NREUMQ=NREUMQ||[];NREUMQ.push(["mark","firstbyte",new Date().getTime()])</script>

They're using a combination of django and pyramid.
I've been playing around with this for about two days now but, obviously, have gotten nowhere. Thanks for your help.
