Look at Mark Hammond's winall package (or the ActiveState version of
Python)
Also Marks book Python Programming on Win32 looks like it will be
essential reading for you...

There is some web documentation around on writing SOAP with Python,
try a Google search.

hight:

Winall to the rescue here too

of IE

You can go yto a URL using Javascript, whether thats enough depends
on what you need to do. In general its a bad idea to try that kind of
thing since the browser is liely to be restricted for security
reasons.
Which is why you can't open local files etc from Javascript in a
browser.

Python?

The http server might do, or the cgi server, both are quite small
by todays standards.
