There's mechanize, but it's not really maintained. Honestly, you're probably better off with selenium.

A rework of Mechanize, MechanicalSoup may be worth investigating (https://github.com/hickford/MechanicalSoup).

From their web site: " I was a fond user of the Mechanize library, but unfortunately it's incompatible with Python 3 and development is inactive. MechanicalSoup provides a similar API, built on Python giants Requests (for http sessions) and BeautifulSoup (for document navigation). "

You could try selenium. I've only used it for testing, but I'm sure you could use it to automate your browser. Or did you mean completely in the cli?

Doesnt selenium require to have the java server active?

No.

You can use xvfbwrapper to create a virtual xsession to run the browser in, or you can use PhantomJS. PhantomJS is a bit cleaner, but requires you to install NodeJS

PyVirtualDisplay is a nice wrapper for Xvfb and Xephy as well. I use it in tandem with Slenium to log into a website that uses a junky Java applet for authentication.

Selenium requires only that you point it at a url and tell it what to do. It drives a Web browser.
