Overview
--------
A Python library for automating interaction with websites.
MechanicalSoup automatically stores and sends cookies, follows
redirects, and can follow links and submit forms. It doesn't do
JavaScript.
MechanicalSoup was created by `M Hickford
<https://github.com/hickford/>`__, who was a fond user of the
`Mechanize <https://github.com/jjlee/mechanize>`__ library.
Unfortunately, Mechanize is `incompatible with Python 3
<https://github.com/jjlee/mechanize/issues/96>`__ and its development
stalled for several years. MechanicalSoup provides a similar API, built on Python
giants `Requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/>`__ (for
HTTP sessions) and `BeautifulSoup
<https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/>`__ (for document
navigation). Since 2017 it is a project actively maintained by a small
team including `@hemberger <https://github.com/hemberger>`__ and `@moy
<https://github.com/moy/>`__.

Documentation
-------------
The full documentation is available on
https://mechanicalsoup.readthedocs.io/. You may want to jump directly to
the `automatically generated API
documentation <https://mechanicalsoup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mechanicalsoup.html>`__.
Example
-------
From `examples/expl_duck_duck_go.py <https://github.com/MechanicalSoup/MechanicalSoup/blob/master/examples/expl_duck_duck_go.py>`__, code to get the results from
a DuckDuckGo search:
.. code:: python
"""Example usage of MechanicalSoup to get the results from
DuckDuckGo."""
import mechanicalsoup
# Connect to duckduckgo
browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser()
browser.open("https://duckduckgo.com/")
# Fill-in the search form
browser.select_form('#search_form_homepage')
browser["q"] = "MechanicalSoup"
browser.submit_selected()
# Display the results
for link in browser.get_current_page().select('a.result__a'):
print(link.text, '->', link.attrs['href'])
More examples are available in `examples/ <https://github.com/MechanicalSoup/MechanicalSoup/blob/master/examples/>`__.
For an example with a more complex form (checkboxes, radio buttons and
textareas), read `tests/test_browser.py <https://github.com/MechanicalSoup/MechanicalSoup/blob/master/tests/test_browser.py>`__
and `tests/test_form.py <https://github.com/MechanicalSoup/MechanicalSoup/blob/master/tests/test_form.py>`__.
