Login to JS webpage from python

Question

I am trying to login to a webpage which uses javascript to login. the page contains a file called "login.js" ad it has following method:

function onformSbumit(object, e){
  if (e.getKey() === 13 || object.xtype==='button') {
    var form = object.up('form').getForm();
    if(form.isValid()) {
      form.submit({
        method : 'POST',
        success : function(form, action) {
          var result = Ext.decode(action.response.responseText);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("userName", result.data.principal.userId);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("id", result.data.principal.id);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("role", result.data.principal.role);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("roleName", result.data.principal.roleObj.roleName);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("privilege", result.data.principal.roleObj.rolePrivileges);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("partitionid", result.data.principal.operatorId);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("partitionName", result.data.principal.operator.name);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("time", result.data.principal.time);
          Ext.util.Cookies.set("timeZone", result.data.principal.timeZone);
          var redirect = 'main';
          window.location = redirect;
        }
      })
    }
  }
}

I want to know which procedure has to be followed for login to this page.

There are 2 options in my opinion:

use the python module requests in order to perform the POST request.
use selenium in order to simulate browser activity.

For more information: requests or selenium.
