"""HTML form handling for web clients.
HTML form handling for web clients: useful for parsing HTML forms, filling them
in and returning the completed forms to the server. This code developed from a
port of Gisle Aas' Perl module HTML::Form, from the libwww-perl library, but
the interface is not the same.
The most useful docstring is the one for HTMLForm.

# Clean up post the merge into mechanize
# * Remove code that was duplicated in ClientForm and mechanize
# * Remove weird import stuff
# * Remove pre-Python 2.4 compatibility cruft
# * Clean up tests
# * Later release: Remove the ClientForm 0.1 backwards-compatibility switch
# Remove parser testing hack
# Clean action URI
# Switch to unicode throughout
# See Wichert Akkerman's 2004-01-22 message to c.l.py.
# Apply recommendations from google code project CURLIES
# Apply recommendations from HTML 5 spec
# Add charset parameter to Content-type headers? How to find value??
# Functional tests to add:
# Single and multiple file upload
# File upload with missing name (check standards)
# mailto: submission & enctype text/plain??
# Replace by_label etc. with moniker / selector concept. Allows, e.g., a
# choice between selection by value / id / label / element contents. Or
# choice between matching labels exactly or by substring. etc.

# This cut-n-pasted MimeWriter from standard library is here so can add
# to HTTP headers rather than message body when appropriate. It also uses
# \r\n in place of \n. This is a bit nasty.
class MimeWriter:
"""Generic MIME writer.
Methods:
__init__()
addheader()
flushheaders()
startbody()
startmultipartbody()
nextpart()
lastpart()
A MIME writer is much more primitive than a MIME parser. It
doesn't seek around on the output file, and it doesn't use large
amounts of buffer space, so you have to write the parts in the
order they should occur on the output file. It does buffer the
headers you add, allowing you to rearrange their order.
General usage is:
f = <open the output file>
w = MimeWriter(f)
...call w.addheader(key, value) 0 or more times...
followed by either:
f = w.startbody(content_type)
...call f.write(data) for body data...
or:
w.startmultipartbody(subtype)
for each part:
subwriter = w.nextpart()
...use the subwriter's methods to create the subpart...
w.lastpart()
The subwriter is another MimeWriter instance, and should be
treated in the same way as the toplevel MimeWriter. This way,
writing recursive body parts is easy.
Warning: don't forget to call lastpart()!
XXX There should be more state so calls made in the wrong order
are detected.
Some special cases:
- startbody() just returns the file passed to the constructor;
but don't use this knowledge, as it may be changed.
- startmultipartbody() actually returns a file as well;
this can be used to write the initial 'if you can read this your
mailer is not MIME-aware' message.
- If you call flushheaders(), the headers accumulated so far are
written out (and forgotten); this is useful if you don't need a
body part at all, e.g. for a subpart of type message/rfc822
that's (mis)used to store some header-like information.
- Passing a keyword argument 'prefix=<flag>' to addheader(),
start*body() affects where the header is inserted; 0 means
append at the end, 1 means insert at the start; default is
append for addheader(), but insert for start*body(), which use
it to determine where the Content-type header goes.

select_default: for multiple-selection SELECT controls and RADIO controls,
pick the first item as the default if none are selected in the HTML
form_parser_class: class to instantiate and use to pass
request_class: class to return from .click() method (default is
mechanize.Request)
entitydefs: mapping like {"&amp;": "&", ...} containing HTML entity
definitions (a sensible default is used)
encoding: character encoding used for encoding numeric character references
when matching link text. mechanize does not attempt to find the encoding
in a META HTTP-EQUIV attribute in the document itself (mechanize, for
example, does do that and will pass the correct value to mechanize using
this parameter).
backwards_compat: boolean that determines whether the returned HTMLForm
objects are backwards-compatible with old code. If backwards_compat is
true:
- ClientForm 0.1 code will continue to work as before.
- Label searches that do not specify a nr (number or count) will always
get the first match, even if other controls match. If
backwards_compat is False, label searches that have ambiguous results
will raise an AmbiguityError.
- Item label matching is done by strict string comparison rather than
substring matching.
- De-selecting individual list items is allowed even if the Item is
disabled.
The backwards_compat argument will be removed in a future release.
Pass a true value for select_default if you want the behaviour specified by
RFC 1866 (the HTML 2.0 standard), which is to select the first item in a
RADIO or multiple-selection SELECT control if none were selected in the
HTML. Most browsers (including Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and
Netscape Navigator) instead leave all items unselected in these cases. The
W3C HTML 4.0 standard leaves this behaviour undefined in the case of
multiple-selection SELECT controls, but insists that at least one RADIO
button should be checked at all times, in contradiction to browser
behaviour.
There is a choice of parsers. mechanize.XHTMLCompatibleFormParser (uses
HTMLParser.HTMLParser) works best for XHTML, mechanize.FormParser (uses
bundled copy of sgmllib.SGMLParser) (the default) works better for ordinary
grubby HTML. Note that HTMLParser is only available in Python 2.2 and
later. You can pass your own class in here as a hack to work around bad
HTML, but at your own risk: there is no well-defined interface.

"""An HTML form control.
An HTMLForm contains a sequence of Controls. The Controls in an HTMLForm
are accessed using the HTMLForm.find_control method or the
HTMLForm.controls attribute.
Control instances are usually constructed using the ParseFile /
ParseResponse functions. If you use those functions, you can ignore the
rest of this paragraph. A Control is only properly initialised after the
fixup method has been called. In fact, this is only strictly necessary for
ListControl instances. This is necessary because ListControls are built up
from ListControls each containing only a single item, and their initial
value(s) can only be known after the sequence is complete.
The types and values that are acceptable for assignment to the value
attribute are defined by subclasses.
If the disabled attribute is true, this represents the state typically
represented by browsers by 'greying out' a control. If the disabled
attribute is true, the Control will raise AttributeError if an attempt is
made to change its value. In addition, the control will not be considered
'successful' as defined by the W3C HTML 4 standard -- ie. it will
contribute no data to the return value of the HTMLForm.click* methods. To
enable a control, set the disabled attribute to a false value.
If the readonly attribute is true, the Control will raise AttributeError if
an attempt is made to change its value. To make a control writable, set
the readonly attribute to a false value.
All controls have the disabled and readonly attributes, not only those that
may have the HTML attributes of the same names.
On assignment to the value attribute, the following exceptions are raised:
TypeError, AttributeError (if the value attribute should not be assigned
to, because the control is disabled, for example) and ValueError.
If the name or value attributes are None, or the value is an empty list, or
if the control is disabled, the control is not successful.
Public attributes:

HTMLForm.type2class dictionary for the allowable values) (readonly)

ListControls accept sequence values only. Some controls only accept

In those cases, ItemCountError is raised if len(sequence) > 1. CHECKBOXes

ListControl items can also be referred to by their labels instead of names.
Use the label argument to .get(), and the .set_value_by_label(),
.get_value_by_label() methods.
Note that, rather confusingly, though SELECT controls are represented in
HTML by SELECT elements (which contain OPTION elements, representing

SELECT (and OPTION)
OPTION 'values', in HTML parlance, are Item 'names' in mechanize parlance.
SELECT control values and labels are subject to some messy defaulting
rules. For example, if the HTML representation of the control is:
<SELECT name=year>
<OPTION value=0 label="2002">current year</OPTION>
<OPTION value=1>2001</OPTION>
<OPTION>2000</OPTION>
</SELECT>
The items, in order, have labels "2002", "2001" and "2000", whereas their
names (the OPTION values) are "0", "1" and "2000" respectively. Note that
the value of the last OPTION in this example defaults to its contents, as
specified by RFC 1866, as do the labels of the second and third OPTIONs.
The OPTION labels are sometimes more meaningful than the OPTION values,
which can make for more maintainable code.
Additional read-only public attribute: attrs
The attrs attribute is a dictionary of the original HTML attributes of the
SELECT element. Other ListControls do not have this attribute, because in
other cases the control as a whole does not correspond to any single HTML
element. control.get(...).attrs may be used as usual to get at the HTML
attributes of the HTML elements corresponding to individual list items (for
SELECT controls, these are OPTION elements).
Another special case is that the Item.attrs dictionaries have a special key
"contents" which does not correspond to any real HTML attribute, but rather
contains the contents of the OPTION element:
<OPTION>this bit</OPTION>
"""

# After all this, the dictionary is passed to the SelectControl constructor

class HTMLForm:
"""Represents a single HTML <form> ... </form> element.
A form consists of a sequence of controls that usually have names, and
which can take on various values. The values of the various types of
controls represent variously: text, zero-or-one-of-many or many-of-many
choices, and files to be uploaded. Some controls can be clicked on to
submit the form, and clickable controls' values sometimes include the
coordinates of the click.
Forms can be filled in with data to be returned to the server, and then
submitted, using the click method to generate a request object suitable for
passing to mechanize.urlopen (or the click_request_data or click_pairs
methods for integration with third-party code).
import mechanize
forms = mechanize.ParseFile(html, base_uri)
form = forms[0]
form["query"] = "Python"
form.find_control("nr_results").get("lots").selected = True
response = mechanize.urlopen(form.click())
Usually, HTMLForm instances are not created directly. Instead, the
ParseFile or ParseResponse factory functions are used. If you do construct
HTMLForm objects yourself, however, note that an HTMLForm instance is only
properly initialised after the fixup method has been called (ParseFile and
ParseResponse do this for you). See ListControl.__doc__ for the reason
this is required.
Indexing a form (form["control_name"]) returns the named Control's value
attribute. Assignment to a form index (form["control_name"] = something)
is equivalent to assignment to the named Control's value attribute. If you
need to be more specific than just supplying the control's name, use the
set_value and get_value methods.
ListControl values are lists of item names (specifically, the names of the
items that are selected and not disabled, and hence are "successful" -- ie.
cause data to be returned to the server). The list item's name is the
value of the corresponding HTML element's"value" attribute.
Example:
<INPUT type="CHECKBOX" name="cheeses" value="leicester"></INPUT>
<INPUT type="CHECKBOX" name="cheeses" value="cheddar"></INPUT>
defines a CHECKBOX control with name "cheeses" which has two items, named
"leicester" and "cheddar".
Another example:
<SELECT name="more_cheeses">
<OPTION>1</OPTION>
<OPTION value="2" label="CHEDDAR">cheddar</OPTION>
</SELECT>
defines a SELECT control with name "more_cheeses" which has two items,
named "1" and "2" (because the OPTION element's value HTML attribute
defaults to the element contents -- see SelectControl.__doc__ for more on
these defaulting rules).
To select, deselect or otherwise manipulate individual list items, use the
HTMLForm.find_control() and ListControl.get() methods. To set the whole
value, do as for any other control: use indexing or the set_/get_value
methods.
Example:
# select *only* the item named "cheddar"
form["cheeses"] = ["cheddar"]
# select "cheddar", leave other items unaffected
form.find_control("cheeses").get("cheddar").selected = True
Some controls (RADIO and SELECT without the multiple attribute) can only
have zero or one items selected at a time. Some controls (CHECKBOX and
SELECT with the multiple attribute) can have multiple items selected at a
time. To set the whole value of a ListControl, assign a sequence to a form
index:
form["cheeses"] = ["cheddar", "leicester"]
If the ListControl is not multiple-selection, the assigned list must be of
length one.
To check if a control has an item, if an item is selected, or if an item is
successful (selected and not disabled), respectively:
"cheddar" in [item.name for item in form.find_control("cheeses").items]
"cheddar" in [item.name for item in form.find_control("cheeses").items and
item.selected]
"cheddar" in form["cheeses"] # (or "cheddar" in form.get_value("cheeses"))
Note that some list items may be disabled (see below).
Note the following mistake:
form[control_name] = control_value
assert form[control_name] == control_value # not necessarily true
The reason for this is that form[control_name] always gives the list items
in the order they were listed in the HTML.
List items (hence list values, too) can be referred to in terms of list
item labels rather than list item names using the appropriate label
arguments. Note that each item may have several labels.
The question of default values of OPTION contents, labels and values is
somewhat complicated: see SelectControl.__doc__ and
ListControl.get_item_attrs.__doc__ if you think you need to know.
Controls can be disabled or readonly. In either case, the control's value
cannot be changed until you clear those flags (see example below).
Disabled is the state typically represented by browsers by 'greying out' a
control. Disabled controls are not 'successful' -- they don't cause data
to get returned to the server. Readonly controls usually appear in
browsers as read-only text boxes. Readonly controls are successful. List
items can also be disabled. Attempts to select or deselect disabled items
fail with AttributeError.
If a lot of controls are readonly, it can be useful to do this:
form.set_all_readonly(False)
To clear a control's value attribute, so that it is not successful (until a
value is subsequently set):
form.clear("cheeses")
More examples:
control = form.find_control("cheeses")
control.disabled = False
control.readonly = False
control.get("gruyere").disabled = True
control.items[0].selected = True
See the various Control classes for further documentation. Many methods
take name, type, kind, id, label and nr arguments to specify the control to
be operated on: see HTMLForm.find_control.__doc__.
ControlNotFoundError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if the specified
control can't be found. This includes occasions where a non-ListControl
is found, but the method (set, for example) requires a ListControl.
ItemNotFoundError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if a list item can't
be found. ItemCountError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if an attempt
is made to select more than one item and the control doesn't allow that, or
set/get_single are called and the control contains more than one item.
AttributeError is raised if a control or item is readonly or disabled and
an attempt is made to alter its value.
Security note: Remember that any passwords you store in HTMLForm instances
will be saved to disk in the clear if you pickle them (directly or
indirectly). The simplest solution to this is to avoid pickling HTMLForm
objects. You could also pickle before filling in any password, or just set
the password to "" before pickling.
