The Mozilla web browser has Python hooks that we can use to puppet the
browser.  We can find more information here:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/Komodo/PyXPCOM/

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/co-pyxp1.html


I'm being vague here because I simply haven't had time to try out an
example for myself yet.  Simply speaking, I have no clue if this will
work.  *grin* If someone can get a working PyXPCOM example, perhaps a
summary of the experience would be helpful for people on Tutor?


Good luck to you!
