I tried that out myself and got the error below. I'm using Python 2.0
with win32all build 135.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\temp\test2.py", line 11, in ?
    print ie.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
  File "C:\Python\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 340, in __getattr__
    return apply(self._ApplyTypes_, args)
  File "C:\Python\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 334, in
_ApplyTypes_
    return self._get_good_object_(apply(self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes,
(dispid, 0, wFlags, retType, argTypes) + args), user, resultCLSID)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None,
None, None, 0, -2147467259), None)
