[BangPypers] RE : Python mechanize Change the Location of Google search

[Saju M]

Hi,

I also tried to change google search location through
http://www.google.co.in/preferences?hl=en#loc , but getting error
mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Here is the code i tried

import re
import cookielib
from mechanize import Browser
import mechanize

br1= Browser()
# Cookie Jar
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
br1.set_cookiejar(cj)

br1.set_handle_robots(False)
br1.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')]

P_URL = "http://www.google.co.in/preferences?hl=en#loc"
s_page = br1.open(P_URL)
loc_form = br1.select_form(name="langform")
br1.form['luul'] = u'bangaluru' # <------ New location
resp = br1.submit()
print "---------resp---------",resp.read()


Output
=======

$ python a11.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

s_page = br.open(LOGIN_URL)

loc_form = br.select_form(nr=1)
