Yes.  Make sure you use "debug http 1", as this does help a lot, and
unzip the .zip files containing mechanize, and read the source.  That
gave me what I needed to debug.

They don't appear to be .egg files, in 0.7.3 and 0.7.4.  Just zip files.

(My Python 2.3 installation doesn't appear to support the "develop"
method for setup.py, but I wonder if it is relevant.)
