Parsing HTML with Python

Hello all,

I want to make a Python program which will go to a particular site, login with my credentials, and do a specific task, such as in this case: go to WordPress.com, login, navigate to the drafts section, and add a line to a draft.

I believe most of the tasks come under "HTML Parsing" [could anyone explain to me what it is?]. The only thing I want to know is: what modules do I have to learn before I can start my project?

Thanks all
