You should look at Python Browsing Probe, <http://pbp.berlios.de/>. It's
a fairly new project but it sounds like it already does exactly what you
want, and more. From the website:

        "PBP is a web test tool based on John J. Lee's mechanize. It
        exposes the browser functionality at the level of a shell-like
        interpreter so that testers can quickly write tests in a simple
        language designed specifically for that purpose. Anyone familiar
        with a command line should be able to write test scripts for
        even the most complex web applications with PBP."


Cheers, Matt
