handling javascript with python

I am trying to login into a website through python but the form fields have no name just the ID's

<ul>
                    <li id="unLi" class="unLi"><input class="text" id="userName" type="text" maxlength="15" /></li>
                    <li class="blank"></li>
                    <li id="pwLi" class="pwLi"><input class="text" id="pcPassword" type="password" maxlength="15"/></li>
</ul>

I tried the following code 

import requests

params = {'userName':'sahil','pcPassword':'mypassword'}
r = requests.post("http://192.168.1.2/",data=params)
r.status_code
print(r.text)

on submit the form calls a javascript function PCSubWin() which goes something like this

function PCSubWin()
{
    if((httpAutErrorArray[0] == 2) || (httpAutErrorArray[0] == 3))
    {
        if(true == CheckUserPswInvalid())
        {
            var username = $("userName").value;             
            var password = $("pcPassword").value;   
            if(httpAutErrorArray[1] == 1)
            {
                password = hex_md5($("pcPassword").value);  
            }           
            var auth = "Basic "+ Base64Encoding(username + ":" + password);
            document.cookie = "Authorization="+escape(auth)+";path=/";
            //location.href ="/userRpm/LoginRpm.htm?Save=Save";
            $("loginForm").submit();
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            $("note").innerHTML = "NOTE:";
            $("tip").innerHTML = "Username and password can contain between 1 - 15 characters and may not include spaces."; 
        }
    }
    return false;

now I am not very good at javascript but i assume this peice of code $("userName").value is getting the values entered by the user, my question is how can I call to this function when submitting my credentials? my code btw prints out the same code for the login page not the user home page.

The site you're requesting is using Basic HTTP Authentication so you can just call:

requests.get('http://192.168.1.2/userRpm/LoginRpm.htm', auth=('sahil', 'mypassword'))

to access the protected resource.
