Roop, I do not have a python app but do have one in javascript which MAY help. I had a bunch of programs with text files which described the input variables. I wrote 2 programs, the first took the text files and converted them into html. The second, much shorter program, took the html and used ie as the interface, if you like a poor man's gui, to the standalone executables. The final step was to build the execution script for the executable and run it and then exit out of ie. You can download the software from the link at http://winvicar.jpl.nasa.gov
After installation, the program you want to look at is Winvicar\tutor\tu.wsf I would think python and javascript would behave in a similar manner.

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?
