is there a python object which can interpret java-script?

[Alexander Fillips]

Hi,

my short question:

is there a python object which can interpret java-script?

the whole story ;-)

I wrote some streaming-scripts for the xbox mediaplayer which supports 
python. for a new script i tried to filter the stream-url from an 
website. it seems, that the site ist using java-script and the url is 
only visible if the java-script was interpreted. i am using urllib to 
retrieve the page.. but it seems that urllib is not ready for 
java-script...

the site:
http://www.prosieben.de/show_comedy/bullyrick/popup_video/07029//

the url i need:
http://redirect.streaming.szm.de/redirect/redirect.php?type=vod&codec=ms&stream=Pro7/show_comedy/bullyrick/bur_007_plattenladen.wmv&;


i hoper someone has an idea...

cya

if the xbox media player is active there is only support for python. it 
is possible to run linux on the xbox, but not at the same time as xbmc 
is active. i found a browser for the xbox (linksboks) but here still the 
same problem.  thank for your tips...
