I have written a script that opens a web browser using python and Selenium. It works fine with Firefox using the following code:
from selenium import webdriv
Download IE Drivers based on your OS (Windows 32 or 64 bit)
a. Download Windows 32 bits driver
OR
b. Download Windows 64 bits driver
Extract the zip and copy IEDriverServer.exe file to some location e.g. E:\IEDriver
Write the following script
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Ie("e:\\IEDriver\\IEDriverServer.exe")
Run the script, it should open IE browser...
