[python-win32] Interfacing to windows explorer

[Roop Mukherjee]

I have a python app that runs on my machine. I want to use IE as a front 
end to it. To that end I want to start up a new IE window when this 
program is run, and respond to all events on the window (like clicks or 
form submissions) by calling functions in a python module. I want this to 
run on machine's that do not run web servers.

I do not have any of the microsoft developer tools. I am hoping to do this 
by using exporting my python object's interface as a COM server. I want 
the IE to run as a client of this server and send all actions to it. I 
have seen the examples of how to use excel or word as clients (in "The 
quick python book", Harms et. al.). e.g.
xlapp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xlapp.WorkBooks.Add()

Does someone know of similar examples for IE? Does IE have a library like 
the Microsoft Word XX Object library that I can use from python?

Thanks,
