Answer 1

Your forgot to enter username. It should be entered the same as password. Example:

from mechanize import Browser

USERNAME = "my username"
PASSWORD = "my pass"
LOGIN_PAGE = "https://ps.rsd.edu/public/"

browser = Browser()
browser.open( LOGIN_PAGE )


browser.select_form( nr=0 ) 
browser['account'] = USERNAME
browser['pw'] = PASSWORD
response = browser.submit()
print response.read()
