Selecting An Unnamed Text Field In A Mechanize Form (python)

So i'm making a program to batch convert street addresses to gps co-ordinates using mechanize and python. this is my first time using mechanize. I can select the form ('form2') on

Solution 1:

form.find_control(id="search") ?

Solution 2:

FWIW I solved this by using the above answer by lazy1 except that I was trying to assign a value after using the find_control method. That didn't work of course because of assignment, I looked deeper into the method and found setattr() and that worked great for assigning a value to to the field.

will not work

br.form.find_control(id="field id here") = "new value here"

will work

br.form.find_control(id="field id here").__setattr__("value", "new value here")
