FYI

#Imports
from win32com.client import Dispatch
from time import sleep

# Create a new browser object
ie = Dispatch('InternetExplorer.App­lication')

# Make the browser visible
ie.Visible = 1

# Navigate to the site
ie.Navigate("http://ispds-sepsr.prv:7500/cs/welcome.jsp")


# wait for the document to fully load
while ie.ReadyState != 4:
    sleep(1)

doc = ie.Document

while doc.readyState != "complete":
    sleep(1)


# set the textbox value for name to 'some_string'
doc.loginForm.name.value = 'username'

# set the textbox value for password to 'some_string'

doc.loginForm.password.value = 'password'

# submit the form
doc.loginForm.submit()

Added some comments to make it clearer

You will now need another wait for the next document you load
You can put the wait into a wait method

or you could try PAMIE
http://pamie.sourceforge.net


Hope it helps
