Question

Just started playing with Google App Engine & Python (as an excuse ;)). How do I correctly submit a form like this

<form action='https://www.moneybookers.com/app/payment.pl' method='post' target='_blank'> <input type='hidden' name='pay_to_email' value='[e-mail]'> <input type='hidden' name='status_url' <!-- etc. --> <input type='submit' value='Pay!'> </form> 

w/o exposing the data to user?

It sounds like you’re looking for urllib.

Here’s an example of POSTing from the library’s docs:

>>> import urllib >>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0}) >>> f = urllib.urlopen('http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query', params) >>> print f.read()
