Browser simulation - Python 3

I need to access a few HTML pages through a Python 3 script, problem is that I need COOKIE functionality, therefore a simple urllib HTTP request won't work.

Any ideas?

python3's urllib has cookie support, look at urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor, and http.cookiejar

Use requests.

>>> import requests
>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/cookies/set/requests-is/awesome'
>>> r = requests.get(url)

>>> print r.cookies
{'requests-is': 'awesome'}

Reference: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/#cookies

As of a few days ago, requests supports Python 3, though you might have to use one of the develop branches, not entirely sure about the status of upstream integration.
