Dear all,

I want to automatically complete the following task:

1. Go tohttp://www.ffiec.gov/Geocode/default.aspx;
2. Fill in an address in the form "Street Address:" . e.g. "1316 State
Highway 102";
3. Fill in a ZIPcode in the form "Zip Code:" . e.g. "04609";
4. Click the bottom "search";
5. In the opened page, extract and save the number after "Tract Code".
In the example, it will be "9659".
6. Repeat Step 1 with a new address.

Can Python realize these steps? Can these steps be done witout
openning and IE windows? Especially, I dont know how to write code for
step 2, 4 and 5.

Thank you!

You may also want to look at the Yahoo! maps API, which will also give
you geocoding with a much nicer interface:

http://www.yahooapis.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html

unless you specifically need to use the TeleAtlas data or the API
licensing is incompatible with the task at hand, I'd recommend using
that instead.
