controlling web browser in windows

[Alan james Salmoni]

Hi,

My problem is basically this:

I am doing some psychological research into search engine usability and need to have control of a web browser. I am using Python (cos it's simple - I am a psychologist, not 
a programmer!) and looked at the webbrowser module but need to control the back button (so that when a subject completes a task, the back button event is automatically 
called) and have access to the history list.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this could be done. I can use IE, Netscape, or Opera (only on Windows though).
