Hello:
I have some data that needs to be fed through a html form to get 
validated and processed and the like. How can I use python to send data 
through that form, given a specific url? the form says it uses post, but 
I"m not really sure what the difference is. would it just be:
http://mysite.com/bla.php?foo=bar&bar=foo?
If so, how do I do that with python?

Thanks,
Ty
