+SUMMARY="Stateful programmatic web browsing in Python"
+DESCRIPTION="
+	Stateful programmatic web browsing in Python, after Andy Lester’s \
+	Perl module WWW::Mechanize.
+
+	- mechanize.Browser and mechanize.UserAgentBase implement \
+	the interface of urllib2.OpenerDirector, so:
+	 - any URL can be opened, not just http:
+	 - mechanize.UserAgentBase offers easy dynamic configuration \
+	 of user-agent features like protocol, cookie, redirection and \
+	 robots.txt handling, without having to make a new OpenerDirector \
+	 each time, e.g. by calling build_opener().
+	- Easy HTML form filling.
+	- Convenient link parsing and following.
+	- Browser history (.back() and .reload() methods).
+	- The Referer HTTP header is added properly (optional).
+	- Automatic observance of robots.txt.
+	- Automatic handling of HTTP-Equiv and Refresh.
