mechanize select form using id

Question

I am working on mechanize with python.

<form action="/monthly-reports"  accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="sblock"> 

The form here does not have a name. How can I parse the form using it's id?

Answer 1

I found this as a solution for the same problem. br is the mechanize object:

formcount=0 for frm in br.forms():     if str(frm.attrs["id"])=="sblock":     break   formcount=formcount+1 br.select_form(nr=formcount) 

I'm sure the loop counter method above could be done more pythonic, but this should select the form with attribute id="sblock".
