http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/python-spidermonkey/ is a 
Python-Javascript bridge.

To do what you are trying, you will have to execute the Javascript in 
that web page in the context of the page you are downloading...I am not 
quite sure how you will go about doing that without re-inventing what a 
Javascript-enabled browser does.

Knowing nothing about the Xbox environment, here is a suggestion that I 
feel will make your task easier. Can you not use javascript-enabled 
links text browser to access the page and capture the output HTML source 
from links into Python? (Or if you can use win32all, you can automate IE 
to view source and process that source in Python to get your URL)
