javascript execution from Python script

[Matt Gerrans]

That works well -- you might also want to throw in an "ie.visible=1" so you
can see (and dismiss) it.

By the way (this should probably be a different thread), is this some
idiosycracy of my configuration:

>>> import win32com
>>> ie = win32com.client.DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in ?
    ie = win32com.client.DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application.1')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'client'
>>> import win32com.client
>>> ie = win32com.client.DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application.1')

Why is it necessary to import win32com.client explicitly in this case?
