Until somebody (me :-) writes a web browser-like API, that depends how
the button is implemented in the HTML.  Probably, just parse out the
URL with a regular expression (re module), and do urllib2.urlopen(url).

Post some HTML.

Alternatively, if you're on Windows, search on Google Groups for IE
automation group:comp.lang.python.  Or see recent posts about PyKDE,
HttpUnit / Jython, etc.
