Back to PAMIE

 (Python Automation Module for Internet Explorer)


PAMIE was my first Python project ever and it's still  quite a hack, but for the most part it does it's job automating Internet Explorer. Although there are other tools out there such as Selenium, I have decided to pick up the ball and see what I can add to PAMIE to make it a robust test tool for website automation and webscraping.

The first thing I had to do was to refactor the code a bit for Python 3.x. The next step is to break up the code up to easier manageable pieces. Help speed it up a bit using list comprehensions and other code tricks.

There were a few bugs I fixed in the latest update but the next release will be a little a ways off. I will be checking in code for those that want to get the latest and muck around with it, but I guarantee it will be a bit flaky.
