how to use post method in python?

[jumperbl]

I want to execute the query that this code is generating. I know how to open IE and go a page. But it there a way to go directly to the results page of this form?

<form name="test1" method="post"
action="http://ExternalSQLQuery.asp">
<input type=hidden name="database" value="bugs">
<input type=hidden name="sql" value="
select RecNo,Descrptn,CfgItem from (
	select RecNo,Disp,Descrptn,Status,CfgItem from Issue 
	left join (
		Select ISSUE,CfgItem from RepCfg,TRLNK002 where RepCfg.FormID = TRLNK002.REPCFG
		) as A on Issue.FormID = A.ISSUE
	) as B
where Descrptn like '%class%' or CfgItem like '%network%'
order by RecNo
">
<input type=submit name="Run query">
</form>
