    <p>Can anyone, please, explain to me what's going on here. It seems that Python refuses to work (with twill) when I am trying to log in to my mailbox on Yahoo:</p> <pre><code>Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. **************************************************************** Personal firewall software may warn about the connection IDLE makes to its subprocess using this computer's internal loopback interface.

Otherwise, I can't see any such folder/directory there named "<strong>twill-0.9-py2.6.egg</strong>" - there is only a file with this name (the one that I think was downloaded during the installation of mechanize.) Please tell me if my assumption is wrong - I may well be not seeing something very obvious here as I am just a newbie.</p> <p>So, following Your instructions, I did this:</p> <ol> <li><p>I found "<strong>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\other_packages_mechanize_dist</strong>" on my computer (as You can see, I don't have python26, but rather python 25 installed - that might also be a problem)</p></li> <li><p>Changed its name to "<strong>_mechanize_dist_backup</strong>" (the full path now being "<strong>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\other_packages_mechanize_dist_backup</strong>")</p></li> <li><p>Copied my downloaded and unzipped "<strong>mechanize-0.2.2</strong>" into "<strong>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\other_packages</strong>" (the full path being "<strong>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\other_packages\mechanize-0.2.2</strong>")</p></li> <li><p>Changed its name to "<strong>_mechanize_dist</strong>" (the full path being "<strong>C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\other_packages_mechanize_dist</strong>")</p></li> <li><p>Copied "<strong>ClientForm</strong>" file from "<strong>_mechanize_dist_backup</strong>" and pasted it in "<strong>_mechanize_dist</strong>" (in fact, I found two files there named "<strong>ClientForm</strong>": one is a python file, another one is a compiled python file - I copied and pasted both of them).</p></li> </ol> <p>Having done that, I tried running all those commands and got stuck at the very beginning - I couldn't even import twill now:</p> <hr> <pre><code>IDLE 1.2.4 &gt;&gt;&gt; import twill Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;pyshell#0&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; import twill File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\__init__.py", line 52, in &lt;module&gt; from shell import TwillCommandLoop File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\shell.py", line 9, in &lt;module&gt; from twill import commands, parse, __version__ File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\twill\commands.py", line 7, in &lt;module&gt; import _mechanize_dist as mechanize ImportError: No module named _mechanize_dist </code></pre> <hr> <p>It seems that the system doesn't recognize the newly-created "<strong>_mechanize_dist</strong>". </p> <p>Could it be because I have Python 25 instead of Python 26? Or, perhaps, there is some other reason? </p>

    1. COI edited your post to remove login credentials. Just edit and revert if you _really_ wanted it that way. I strongly suggest that you change your password as anybody with a rep of higher than 2000 can now log into your account.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
