Off-topic Internet Question

[Ian Clarke]

Yes, it can be done.  The Python script will need to pretend that it is
a web browser and submit the form information as a "cgi" request to the
web server on which the internet page resides.  It can do this by
opening a TCP socket to the web server.  You should read up on the HTTP
protocol (specifically the section on CGI) (and using sockets in
Python).  You will need to determine whether the web page in question
uses CGI GET or CGI POST.  CGI GET is easier to implement as you just
request a page appending the parameters to the end of the URL.  CGI POST
is a little more involved.
