from win32com.client import Dispatch

ie1 = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance("InternetExplorer.Application", None,\
                     pythoncom.CLSCTX_SERVER,
                     pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
ie1 = Dispatch(ie1)
ie2 = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance("InternetExplorer.Application", None,\
                     pythoncom.CLSCTX_SERVER,
                     pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
ie2 = Dispatch(ie2)
