ActiveScripting (ie, pyscript) is a technology that allows an
application to expose an object model, and allow many languages to use
scripting. Python works with IE, ASP, WSH and a number of other
applications - thus there is no "pyscript" documentation that can help you.
IE is just one such application (and the one you seem to be using). MS
documents this object model with IE - however, you are only likely to
find examples for VBScript or jscript, so will need to convert them to
Python yourself.
Since pyscript doesn't really know about IE in any special way, it
doesn't know how to redirect 'print' statements to document.write()
calls. That has been my exuse anyway - hard-coding for IE wouldn't
necessarily be too evil :)
