Hello to all,

Can someone please maybe point me in the right direction as to what I might need for the following scenario on S60, if you are aware.

I wrote an application in Python some time ago, but for the desktop, not for mobile, that scrapped a web site for its structured characteristics, and logged into my personal account (to send text messages via the web) and performed various other tasks.

I would like to look into implementing it, this time on S60, so it can be done via my Nokia E51 mobile.
On my desktop version, I used a py lib called PAMIE, which is Python Automated Module For Internet Explorer, which preformed this functionality perfectly. its here: http://pamie.sourceforge.net/
This essentially allowed me to automate the browser by manipulating it's DocumentObject Model via COM.

This library is not available for s60, (as far as i can see) and would like to see what else is available.
If you know please let me know, or maybe I have other options?

Thanks for you time!

Best regards,
Darren.

Just a guess, since nobody else has yet answered: have you checked Browser Control APIs? Maybe there's something which would let you get hold of Browser DOM tree and maybe with that you would get all the data you require?

Btw I believe in order to use Browser Control API you would require an extension? It's not part of standard PyS60 release.

Just a guess,
