using IE5 HTML DOM parser in python ?

[webzinc at my-deja.com]

Not a Python girl myself, but you might be interested to know that
WebZinc is an ActiveX DLL that can be used to manipulate Web pages and
parse any HTML.

Forms, tables, paragraphs, pictures, links and more - download an
evaluation copy of www.webzinc.net

Hope this may help in some way!  ;)
