html + javascript automations = [mechanize + ?? ] or something else?

[John]

I tried to install pamie (but I have mostly used python on cygwin on
windows).
In the section " What will you need to run PAMIE", it says I will need
"Mark Hammonds Win32 All"
which I can not find. Can anyone tell me how do I install PAMIE? Do I
need python for
windows that is different from cygwin's python?

Thanks,
