In the process of automating functional tests, I have ran across another python library, mechanize, that looks to be very promising. Perhaps, even more so than scrape.py?
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/

So far it seems that the mechanize platform is more powerful, as it is able to handle complex tasks like managing a gmail inbox( see http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/ ).
My take so far is that scrape.py offers some nice features for validating that a given page has the tags and elements I am looking for. I'm still new to both of these libraries so if anyone out there has experience with both and could help nudge me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
