Doing POST opperations from Python

[Skip Montanaro]

    >> import urllib
    >> paramstring = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
    >> f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query",
    >> paramstring)
    >> print f.read()

    Aahz> I'm not positive, but I believe this appends paramstring to the URL
    Aahz> (through GET) instead of using POST.

Nope.  Check the urllib docs and try the above code.  It accesses my query
cgi script.  Check the REQUEST_METHOD environment variable the script spits
out.
