Yes, Python standard library doesn't support it, and therefore neither 
does twill.  But there's no real reason twill -- or mechanize, between 
twill and the stdlib -- couldn't implement this without waiting for the 
stdlib.  No reason other than lack of somebody to actually do it, of 
course (it's on my list, but so are lots of other things).
