"""HTML form handling for web clients.
ClientForm is a Python module for handling HTML forms on the client
side, useful for parsing HTML forms, filling them in and returning the
completed forms to the server. It has developed from a port of Gisle
Aas' Perl module HTML::Form, from the libwww-perl library, but the
interface is not the same.
The most useful docstring is the one for HTMLForm.

# XXX
# Remove parser testing hack
# safeUrl()-ize action
# Switch to unicode throughout (would be 0.3.x)
# See Wichert Akkerman's 2004-01-22 message to c.l.py.
# Add charset parameter to Content-type headers? How to find value??
# Add some more functional tests
# Especially single and multiple file upload on the internet.
# Does file upload work when name is missing? Sourceforge tracker form
# doesn't like it. Check standards, and test with Apache. Test
# binary upload with Apache.
# mailto submission & enctype text/plain
# I'm not going to fix this unless somebody tells me what real servers
# that want this encoding actually expect: If enctype is
# application/x-www-form-urlencoded and there's a FILE control present.
# Strictly, it should be 'name=data' (see HTML 4.01 spec., section
# 17.13.2), but I send "name=" ATM. What about multiple file upload??
# Would be nice, but I'm not going to do it myself:
# -------------------------------------------------
# Maybe a 0.4.x?
# Replace by_label etc. with moniker / selector concept. Allows, eg.,
# a choice between selection by value / id / label / element
# contents. Or choice between matching labels exactly or by
# substring. Etc.
# Remove deprecated methods.
# ...what else?
# Work on DOMForm.
# XForms? Don't know if there's a need here.

The subwriter is another MimeWriter instance, and should be
treated in the same way as the toplevel MimeWriter. This way,
writing recursive body parts is easy.
Warning: don't forget to call lastpart()!
XXX There should be more state so calls made in the wrong order
are detected.
Some special cases:
- startbody() just returns the file passed to the constructor;
but don't use this knowledge, as it may be changed.
- startmultipartbody() actually returns a file as well;
this can be used to write the initial 'if you can read this your
mailer is not MIME-aware' message.
- If you call flushheaders(), the headers accumulated so far are
written out (and forgotten); this is useful if you don't need a
body part at all, e.g. for a subpart of type message/rfc822
that's (mis)used to store some header-like information.
- Passing a keyword argument 'prefix=' to addheader(),
start*body() affects where the header is inserted; 0 means
append at the end, 1 means insert at the start; default is
append for addheader(), but insert for start*body(), which use
it to determine where the Content-type header goes.

The return value of urllib2.urlopen can be conveniently passed to this
function as the response parameter.
ClientForm.ParseError is raised on parse errors.
response: file-like object (supporting read() method) with a method
geturl(), returning the URI of the HTTP response
select_default: for multiple-selection SELECT controls and RADIO controls,
pick the first item as the default if none are selected in the HTML
form_parser_class: class to instantiate and use to pass
request_class: class to return from .click() method (default is
urllib2.Request)
entitydefs: mapping like {"&": "&", ...} containing HTML entity
definitions (a sensible default is used)
encoding: character encoding used for encoding numeric character references
when matching link text. ClientForm does not attempt to find the encoding
in a META HTTP-EQUIV attribute in the document itself (mechanize, for
example, does do that and will pass the correct value to ClientForm using
this parameter).
backwards_compat: boolean that determines whether the returned HTMLForm
objects are backwards-compatible with old code. If backwards_compat is
true:
- ClientForm 0.1 code will continue to work as before.
- Label searches that do not specify a nr (number or count) will always
get the first match, even if other controls match. If
backwards_compat is False, label searches that have ambiguous results
will raise an AmbiguityError.
- Item label matching is done by strict string comparison rather than
substring matching.
- De-selecting individual list items is allowed even if the Item is
disabled.
The backwards_compat argument will be deprecated in a future release.
Pass a true value for select_default if you want the behaviour specified by
RFC 1866 (the HTML 2.0 standard), which is to select the first item in a
RADIO or multiple-selection SELECT control if none were selected in the
HTML. Most browsers (including Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and
Netscape Navigator) instead leave all items unselected in these cases. The
W3C HTML 4.0 standard leaves this behaviour undefined in the case of
multiple-selection SELECT controls, but insists that at least one RADIO
button should be checked at all times, in contradiction to browser
behaviour.
There is a choice of parsers. ClientForm.XHTMLCompatibleFormParser (uses
HTMLParser.HTMLParser) works best for XHTML, ClientForm.FormParser (uses
sgmllib.SGMLParser) (the default) works better for ordinary grubby HTML.
Note that HTMLParser is only available in Python 2.2 and later. You can
pass your own class in here as a hack to work around bad HTML, but at your
own risk: there is no well-defined interface.
