This website shows a tutorial how to download a file and show the current state in a gauge (wxpython). But I can't use the requests library to download the file. I want to download a file from a website on which you need to log in first. How can I realise this?

Thank you.

Has Anybody an idea? Is that even possible? – user2534685 Jan 26 '15 at 11:49
You can use requests to login to a website too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11892729/how-to-log-in-to-a-website-using-pythons-requests-module – Mike Driscoll Jan 26 '15 at 14:11
The Login doesn't work with requests library :( The 'value' field stays blank and I'm not logged in. – user2534685 Jan 26 '15 at 14:40
Is it not possible to combine mechanize and requests? – user2534685 Jan 26 '15 at 16:10
Login is usually doable with requests. You just need to use session to store login cookies. You only need mechanize if site uses javascript for that functionality. – Fenikso Jan 29 '15 at 14:03
