Good work, but is it possible to get update of this code which will work with current format of Facebook

This change works for me:

mxt = re.search('name="m_ts" value="(\w+)"', res.read())
pfi = mxt.group(1)
print 'Using PFI: %s' % pfi
res.close()

At least, it works to get me logged in. I tacked my own code after this somewhere to use a Facebook API to pull in JSON data to construct an RSS feed of posts to my wall or whatever they call it. This change has me back in business.

Hi tudza can you send to me your complete code which you said it work, i want to check those code and try it...my email [email protected]

I am using the update code from this site https://gist.github.com/1511968, i did that change you said i managed to logged in but i got another error at the end, can you also try to look those code.....
