[Tutor] entering text on web site

[Benjamin Fishbein]

Hello. I have been teaching myself Python and have been stuck on this problem for a week--I scoured the web for an answer and even asked a couple computer programmer friends.
I managed to write a simple program with urllib that downloads the content from web pages; but I want to put text in a text box on the webpage, have it entered into the website, and then get the results. Is there a way to do this with Python?
Thanks,
Ben
