Do you need to do this interactively in a browser?
It sounds like scripting the process using urlib might be a better
solution?

You can use COM to script IE but navigating the mysteries of COM is
not
easy, especoially if you haven't done it before.

I suggest you look at urlib before going any further, but if you
really
need to have a real browser open IE may be your best bet.
