How to log in to Microsoft Live through Python

I'm not entirely new to Python, but I'm looking for a way to log in to Windows Live through Python.

Now I know there are already posts on here about this, but I keep having troubles with it. The website is, http://login.live.com/, and I have found the name of the input forms, for the email it is "login" and for the password it is "passwd". But I don't get it. I used several scripts on here similar to what I'm trying to do and I tried to integrate it with this and it didn't work.

Here is part of my code

import requests
import sys

   EMAIL = 'replace with actual email'
   PASSWORD = 'replace with actual password'

   URL = 'https://login.live.com/'

   def main():
# Start a session so we can have persistant cookies
session = requests.session(config={'verbose': sys.stderr})

# This is the form data that the page sends when logging in
login_data = {
    'login': EMAIL,
    'passwd': PASSWORD,
    'submit': 'login',
}

And the problem with this is that I'm stuck and I don't know what to do now, I keep getting a verbose error on Python 2.7 (http://gyazo.com/a433611b70c4f6707987cdd9fc4e467e) that I can't fix, and I don't know how to verify all this and then have it reply if you logged in or if the passwords fake...

The error is exactly what the error message says. requests.session takes no arguments and you are passing an argument to it. Usage:

session = requests.Session()
login_data = {
    'login': EMAIL,
    'passwd': PASSWORD,
    'submit': 'login',
}

session.post( URL, data = login_data )
