Fedora EPEL 5 ships python-mechanize 0.1.6-0.1.b. Unfortunately there are a couple of bugs in this old version and I'd like to request an update to the latest 1.x version (which is API compatible, judging from the change log). Version 1.0.8 contains a fix for my particular bug, though you might want to go to 0.1.11 if you push an update. I could provide a spec file patch if you like.
