Only one CPU? ;-)

Speaking of VMs, does anybody have any recommendations for scripting
access to sites that use Javascript to manipulate the DOM directly and
are inconvenient to deal with by hand because the UI sucks?  I think
most of the JS is pretty simple (just downloads preformatted HTML), so
I can probably just write the script assuming that the form elements
can be treated as "WYSIWYG".

But that's so ... dirty.  What would be nice is an embedded JS
interpreter (preferably in Python).
