[python-win32] equivalent selenium findElement(By.xpath...) with win32com

[laurent solano]

Tim, I fear your proposal does not solve my problem.
With ie = win32com.client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application") :
- how can I assign this "ie" object with my already running browser ?
- how can I use function like ".find_by_xpath" with thie ie.object.

I think splinter is a good way, just need to know how to connect it to my
browser (i don't want to log in automaticaly, so i need to log in manually
and after take control of my browser.)

any ideas ?

Laurent.
