You could do this with twill easily enough -- just do<BR>
<BR>
browser = twill.commands.browser<BR>
statusPage = browser.get_html()<BR>
<BR>
-> my question is: Is ok to use twill like that?<BR>
-> Is it thread safe?<BR>
<BR>
...however, unfortunately, the commands interface in twill is not thread<BR>
safe, and mechanize (which twill uses to actually do anything :) may<BR>
also not be threadsafe.<BR>
<BR>
