Well, you can use htmllib to parse the HTML, look for the "form" tag, and
extract the "action" verb.  Or, if you really just want this one site, you
can use urllib2 to provide POST parameters:

  import urllib
  import urllib2

  url = 'http://lalal.hhdik/'
  values = {'password' : 'password',
            'Entra' : 'Entra' }

  data = urllib.urlencode(values)
  req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
  response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
  the_page = response.read()
