If you're on Windows (and have either ActiveState Python or Mark Hammond's
win32all extensions) then you can use COM to create a web browser instance
and use its DOM interface to navigate. I made a small script to retrieve
my address book this way - I'll try to dig it up and post it, but it's
pretty easy to do from scratch too.
