# Quick and dirty script example

from win32com.client import DispatchEx
import time

def wait(ie):

    while ie.Busy:
        time.sleep(0.1)
    while ie.Document.ReadyState != 'complete':

        time.sleep(0.1)

#instaniate a new ie object so you can call it's methods and
properties...etc..
ie = DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application')

# You need to make it Visible
ie.Visible = 1

# Navigate to the page
ie.Navigate('mail.yahoo.com')

wait(ie) # important to wait for the doc to load


# Enter User info and submit the form since it uses submit
# If the button had a name attribute
# You could also use  ie.Document.login_form.buttonName.Click

# ieObject.Document.FormName.TexboxName.value ="??"
ie.Document.login_form.username.value="MyName"
ie.Document.login_form.passwd.value="Mypasswd"
ie.Document.login_form.submit()
