HTML expect in python
I would like to automate some simple browser navigating using python. Ideally, I would like a package like pyexpect, but that can handle a browser in much the same way as pyexpect handles a terminal (tall order!). In short, I want a macro language for a browser (I know about the commercial packages such as Easy Bee and Internet macros, but I want more programmability and less cost!) ClientForms goes in the right direction. Can Grail be scripted (easily)? What is the best way to run a browser with python? Python would have to be able to fill in forms, send them off, click links, and so on. I don't really care which browser it is. Apparently, commandline python scripts can control IE. Not sure where to find examples Any suggestions? (I found the following remark: A different flavor of client-side Python scripting is that Mark Hammond's [ref] hard work has made possible. Internet Explorer (and WSH [give ref]) support(s) ActiveScripting [ref] languages, including Python. Thus, as Gilles Lenfant enumerated in private correspondence: * Command-line Python scripts control IE (but equally well through COM [ref]); * Client-side scripts interpret Python embedded in HTML as well as they do JavaScript [ref]; * "you can write 'hta' applications with full-featured Python (use of IE5 for GUI)" ) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks for these replies -- looks like I have all I need; now it is just a question of getting my head around the applications and doing some testing... Many thanks for pointers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
PyQt4.__file__ gives PyQt4/__init__.py as value
I don't understand why the __file__ value in my installation of PyQt would not give a proper, full path. I'm guessing that I did not install pyqt properly (I'm on Ubuntu Hardy, trying to install QT4.5), but before redoing the install, I want to see if there is a quicker fix. Also, though PyQt4/ is in the site-packages directory, and loads properly into the interactive environment. Yolk does not list it. ??? Something strange here! Any suggestions? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
