I want to open Google search page and Change the Location link in the
left hand nav of Google) from the users current location to a
different location, then return the results of the updated search.

I done following coding.
Issue is, Left side Change Location form of google is javacript
driven, So br.submit() not working .
Have any way to solve this issue ???

import re
from mechanize import Browser

LOGIN_URL = "http://www.google.co.in/search?q=new+york+locksmith&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a"

br = Browser()
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 Fedora/3.0.1-1.fc9
Firefox/3.0.1')]

s_page = br.open(LOGIN_URL)

loc_form = br.select_form(nr=1)

loc_text_fld = br.form.find_control(id='lc-input')

loc_text_fld.__dict__['_value'] = 'kerala' #Change the Location

resp = br.submit()

print "\n\n----------resp----------", resp.read() #Returning blank
