here's how far I can get, I'm hoping there's a preferred way to utilize 
mechanize and beautifulsoup:

from twill import *
from mechanize import _beautifulsoup
soup = _beautifulsoup.BeautifulSoup
b = get_browser()
b.go('http://somedomain.com')
x = soup(b.get_html()) 
y = x.fetch('div')
// and parse from there

comments, suggestions?

thanks,

mike
