Read active tab URL from a browser with Python ?

[goldtech]

Hi,

I've goggled this but haven't found a way (at least a way I understand) for a running Python script to get the current URL in a browser's location bar. Is there a way? I'm using Windows so maybe that would provide a way (or not).

This isn't for a browser controlled/automated by Python that Pyhton might have a "hook" in, but just a "typical" running browser FF, IE...

Any help appreciated.
