are there any method to close PAMIE's IE or win32com's IE ?

Answer 1

Just use, to initialize your PAMIE instance, PAMIE(timeOut=100) or whatever. The units of measure for timeOut are "tenths of a second" (!); the default is 3000 (300 seconds, i.e., 5 minutes); with 300 as I suggested, you'd time out after 10 seconds as you request.

(You can pass the timeOut= parameter even when you're initializing with a URL, but in that case the timeout will only be active after the initial navigation).

Answer 2

I think what you are looking for is somewhere to set the timeout on your request. I would suggest looking into the documentation on PAMIE.
