Web Scripting with Twill (I wish I had this when I used to do WebApp Assessments)

A few weeks ago I thought I had the need to script (for the life of my I can't remember why I wanted to do this, I should have blogged on it) Firefox. Well I didn't any Python or Ruby tools for taking control of the browser (I remember seeing how to do this with Python and IE a loooong time ago) but tonight I ran across Twill which looks pretty cool and I assume uses the cmd module
