I've been playing around with the COM interface to
Microsoft Internet Explorer using python. It's very powerful
and relatively easy to use.
I've always used urllib to do automated data-gathering from the
web. But I ran into roadblocks with secure servers and some
quirky javascript forms. With python+COM+MSIE, I seem to be
able to automate any task I can do manually with the browser.
The DOM capabilities built in to MSIE are a nice plus.
I don't claim to be an expert, by any means, but I've put together some
useful code and a simple demo. Should be enough to get
someone started.
