AutoWK
AutoWK is a Windows-only Python automation wrapper for a bundled WebKit-based
browser runtime. It exposes a small WebDriver-style Python API and ships the
required MiniBrowser.exe and WebDriver.exe binaries inside the package.
Install
pip install autowk==0.4.3
AutoWK currently targets 64-bit Windows. The wheel includes native Windows executables and DLLs, so it is not intended for Linux or macOS.
Quick Start
from autowk import AutoWK
client = AutoWK(lang="en-US", timezone="America/Chicago")
try:
client.create_session()
client.navigate("https://example.com/")
print(client.get_title())
finally:
try:
client.delete_session()
finally:
client.close()
The legacy import paths remain supported:
from autowk.AutoWkDriverClient import AutoWK
from autowk.AutoWKOptions import Options
Diagnostics
AutoWK 0.4.3 adds a lightweight command line interface:
python -m autowk
autowk --version
autowk doctor
autowk paths
autowk doctor checks that the bundled browser binaries exist and that the
default local ports are available. It does not launch the browser.
Safety Notes
close()only terminates processes started by the currentAutoWKinstance.- Network listener output is redacted by default to avoid printing credentials.
- Proxy credentials are still passed to the bundled browser as startup arguments because that is the current MiniBrowser interface. Avoid using shared machines or process-list logging when passing proxy passwords.
License
AutoWK's Python code is distributed under the BSD 2-Clause License. The package
also bundles WebKit runtime files, supporting DLLs, and WebInspector
third-party resources under their respective upstream licenses. See NOTICE,
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and the bundled license files for details before
