Overview:

PAMIE (Python automation Module for I. E.) is a library, which enables Python to interact with Internet Explorer. PAMIE automates the browser by manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM) via the COM interface. PAMIE is used to create web tests written in Python using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

There are two flavors of PAMIE.
