× 139886 I am trying to log in to betfair.com by using mechanize. I have tried several ways but it always fail. This is the code I have developed so far, can anyone help me to identify what is wrong with it and how I can improve it to log into my betfair account? Thanks, import cookielib import urllib import urllib2 from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup import mechanize from mechanize import Browser import re bf_username_name = "username" bf_password_name = "password" bf_form_name = "loginForm" bf_username = "xxxxx" bf_password = "yyyyy" urlLogIn = "http://www.betfair.com/" accountUrl = "https://myaccount.betfair.com/account/home?rlhm=0&" # This url I will use to verify if log in has been successful br = mechanize.Browser(factory=mechanize.RobustFactory()) br.addheaders = [("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.90 Safari/537.1")] br.open(urlLogIn) br.select_form(nr=0) print br.form br.form[bf_username_name] = bf_username br.form[bf_password_name] = bf_password print br.form #just to check username and psw have been recorded correctly responseSubmit = br.submit() response = br.open(accountUrl) text_file = open("LogInResponse.html", "w") text_file.write(responseSubmit.read()) #this file should show the home page with me logged in, but it show home page as if I was not logged it text_file.close() text_file = open("Account.html", "w") text_file.write(response.read()) #this file should show my account page, but it should a pop up with an error text_file.close()
