aiomarionette 0.0.3

Firefox Marionette client for asyncio

FireFox Marionette Client for asyncio

aiomarionette provides an asynchronous client interface for the Firefox Marionette remote control protocol.

Usage

To use aiomarionette, create an instance of the Marionette class. By default, the cclient will attempt to connect to the Marionette socket on the local machine, port 2828. You can specify the host and/or port arguments to change this. Be sure to call the connect method first, before calling any of the command methods.

async with aiomarionette.Marionette() as mn:
    mn.connect()
    mn.navigate('https://getfirefox.com/')

Compared to marionette_driver

The official Python client for Firefox Marionette is marionette_driver. Although it is more complete than aiomarionette (at least for now), it only provides a blocking API.

Unlike marionette_driver, aiomarionette does not currently support launching Firefox directly. You must explicity start a Firefox process in Marionette mode before connecting to it with aiomarionette.
