autowk 0.4.3

基于 WebKit 的 Windows 自动化浏览器框架

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 current AutoWK instance.
• 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.
