college grades checking - marfly32 - Sep-04-2017

Hello, guys! Firstly, sorry for my raw coding skills. To start with, i've go no idea how to make it happen, i did my newbies research :( , and come up just with genereal logic. I wanna make a script, which will check my grades on my college website, and in case if new grades were added it will notify me by email. Im new to python, so i just wanna ask is general logic of my code is right?
[python]
import urlb. www.college.com # my college website
log in (login, password) # in order to log into my personal account
go to www.college.com/grades # going to page, where grades are
if grades =/ null # if there is no empty column, then notify me
send email to (*****@gmail.com)* to notify me if new grades were added
else:
dont do anything

/python]

then break each step into components that relate to code:

Hey hello! Thanks for reply!
Here is what i came up with so far:

import requests
url = 'http://college.com/php'
values = {'username': 'user',
'password': 'pass'}

r = requests.post(url, data=values)
print r.content

url= "http://college.com/grades"
And im stuck Wall , dunno what else to do

you should use getpass:
import getpass
password = getpass.getpass('Password:')
but you should not be posting... and using requests incorrectly
format is:
requests.post(url, parameters, data, headers)
