I was wondering if Python can monitor web browser content.
Browsers just display html text and Python can read html so
yes you can do it by getting your program to emulate a browser.
Look at the standard library modules urllibm htmllib and htmlParser.
Or for more adventurous parsing try the external module BeautifulSoup,
it tends to handle badly formed html better and is arguably easier to
use than the standard options..
On Windows you can also read the content of IE using COM
but that's probably not the best approach.
