Any help would be appreciated :-) I want to write an auction sniping tool in Python. I know Python, but I know absolutely nothing about web pages, javascript etc i.e. I want the program to automatically log me into my eBay account, access the appropriate item, locate how many mins/seconds until the bid time ends and then automatically place a bid at the last possible moment.
I can see the web-page source - it looks to be javascript (to my untutored eye :-)). But how do I enter data and "simulated" mouse presses on a web-page that I have accessed via a Python program? So where can I start to learn how to do this? Any books available? web resources that show examples or offer tutorials? I have (in the past) written some python to scoop data off web-sites but I have never written anything that interactively interacts with the web-page contents and don't know where to even start on this one. Thanks for any help/pointers Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
