I don't know of anything cross platform, or even cross browser, but on
Windows, IE can be automated via COM - see
<http://www.mayukhbose.com/python/IEC/> for example - and other
browsers should be able to be automated either via COM or by driving
the GUI with WATSUP (<http://www.tizmoi.net/watsup/intro.html>).
