I believe you want Browser.select_form(nr=0)

# Using mechanize
# http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/

from mechanize import Browser

browser = Browser()
browser.open("http://example.com")
browser.select_form(nr=0)

browser['username'] = "me"
browser['password'] = "secret"

browser.submit()

Yes, that is what i had there already, however, im tryin to get rid of
the
-----------------------------
for form in self._br.forms():
print form
-----------------------------

I have a different for loop im tryin to implement outside of that one,
and it's just not cycleing
through.So is there any way to get rid of the for loop?

this is the origanal code piece

for line in open('passwds.txt'):
for form in self._br.forms():
print form
self._br.select_form(nr=0)
self._br['username'] = Crawler.usrname
self._br['password'] = line.strip()
response=self._br.submit()
if 'incorrect' in response.read():
print 'password incorrect =', line.strip()

by the outside for loop isnt working, so i figured that maybe i could
hard code the form name and i wouldnt need that inner loop..there a
way to do that?
