That URL doesn't appear to be in the HTML - it must be being brought

There is <http://github.com/davisp/python-spidermonkey>, but
simulating the whole context of a browser is going to be a horror.
You are probably far better off automating a real browser. WebDriver
(<http://bit.ly/crAEPu>) has Python bindings these days. It's
primarily intended for functional testing, but it might be a good fit
here too.

A test case for Windmill might also be used to extract the information
that you're looking for.
