Question about python

[takoyaki]

I am new to dealing with this so I am sorry if these are dumb questions.
How do you know if python was successful when logging into a website.
for now I am using stock code in their guides, so for example.

import urllib2
import sys
import re
import base64
from urlparse import urlparse

theurl = 'http://www.someserver.com/somepath/somepage.html'
# if you want to run this example you'll need to supply
# a protected page with your username and password

username = 'johnny'
password = 'XXXXXX'            

req = urllib2.Request(theurl)
try:
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
except IOError, e:
   
    pass
else:
 
if not hasattr(e, 'code') or e.code != 401:
  

authline = e.headers['www-authenticate']



authobj = re.compile(
    r'''(?:\s*www-authenticate\s*:)?\s*(\w*)\s+realm=['"]([^'"]+)['"]''',
    re.IGNORECASE)


if not matchobj:
 
    print 'The authentication header is badly formed.'
    print authline
    sys.exit(1)

scheme = matchobj.group(1)
realm = matchobj.group(2)

if scheme.lower() != 'basic':
    print 'This example only works with BASIC authentication.'
    sys.exit(1)

base64string = base64.encodestring(
                '%s:%s' % (username, password))[:-1]
authheader =  "Basic %s" % base64string
req.add_header("Authorization", authheader)
try:
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
except IOError, e:
   
    print "It looks like the username or password is wrong."
    sys.exit(1)
thepage = handle.read()

say i run this with my gmail information, and nothing happens, does that mean it succeeded. Or does the page need a pop up authentication?

Thank you for any input.

Seems like you're trying to login with the wrong protocol. This script is used to those pages that pop-up a text box asking you for username and password, and if you close the box it re-directs you to another page. I don't have a page for that example, however I have my own HTTP class I can post. It's pretty simple and easy to learn from.

yeah I assumed what I was looking at was for pop up login but I havent seen one of those in forever so was wondering.
I would love to see the http class.
Python seems very interesting, the little I have looked at seems fairly easy to use, and the guides you can find online and in its own guide section are fairly useful.

thanks for the response man

Should work for you. Run the script and you;ll see Google's source returned into the interpreter.
