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.
