I am familiar with Selenium, Requests, and I have read a little about Mechanize.
But I cannot seem to find a way to store the cookies as a site is accessed manually into a cookie jar, to then be applied.
I have tried:
>>> url = 'http://fake.net/login/complex/cookies'
>>> r = requests.get(url)
>>> print r.cookies
{'complex': 'cookies'}
But I do not get what I am looking for at all.
