Internet Explorer and Python/COM

[Roger Upole]

Here's a small sample of how to navigate to a URL.
>>> import win32com.client
>>> x=win32com.client.Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application.1')
>>> x.Visible=1
>>> x.Navigate('http://www.python.org')
If you run makepy on Microsoft Internet Controls, the file generated in
Python\win32com\genpy will show all the properties and methods
available for this object.
