so...I had this argument with Titus at Pycon last year. I don't want to put
words in his mouth, but I've kind of come around to his side, so I think I
can lay it out. Basically, twill is largely aimed at the kind of person
that wouldn't even know what easy_install is. That is to say, someone that
is not a python programmer. Obviously this is not to say that twill is not
useful to the seasoned programmer, but it ain't exactly bare metal, and
compromises will be made. Requiring mechanize via setuptools just opens you
up to a whole 'nother layer of potential issues. My opinion at this point is
that if you're asking a question like this, you're probably better off just
using mechanize.
I think there's a branch somewhere in the svn repo where I broke out the
built-in mechanize, if that helps you.
