Depending on your requirements,  "ishy_browser"  might help,  I found it the
very quick and easy to get running.   It controls an IE window on your
desktop and gives you access to each page's "objects".   You need
winGuiAuto to get it to work, but that's trivial.

You can either import the script as a module,  or wirte your own _main_
based on the one in the script.

I heard about it on this list.

HTH :)
