ichrome - v0.2.0

A toolkit for using chrome browser with the Chrome Devtools Protocol(CDP), support python3.7+.

Install

pip install ichrome -U

Why?

• pyppeteer / selenium is awesome, but I don't need so much
  • spelling of pyppeteer is hard to remember.
  • selenium is slow.
• async communication with Chrome remote debug port, stable choice. [Recommended]
• sync way to test CDP, which is not recommended for complex production environments. [Deprecated]

Features

• Chrome process daemon
• Connect to existing chrome debug port
• Operations on Tabs

Examples

Chrome daemon

from ichrome import ChromeDaemon, Chrome


def main():
    with ChromeDaemon() as chromed:
        # run_forever means auto_restart
        chromed.run_forever(0)
        chrome = Chrome()
        tab = chrome.new_tab(url="https://pypi.org")
        tab.wait_loading(3)
        tab.js('alert("test ok")')
        tab.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

[Sync] Advanced Usage (Crawling a special background request.)

"""
Test normal usage of ichrome.

1. use `with` context for launching ChromeDaemon daemon process.
2. init Chrome for connecting with chrome background server.
3. Tab ops:
  3.1 create a new tab
  3.2 goto new url with tab.set_url, and will stop load for timeout.
  3.3 get cookies from url
  3.4 inject the jQuery lib by a static url.
  3.5 auto click ok from the alert dialog.
  3.6 remove `href` from the third `a` tag, which is selected by css path.
  3.7 remove all `href` from the `a` tag, which is selected by css path.
  3.8 use querySelectorAll to get the elements.
  3.9 Network crawling from the background ajax request.
  3.10 click some element by tab.click with css selector.
  3.11 show html source code of the tab

TODO

• Concurrent support. (gevent, threading, asyncio)
• Add auto_restart while crash.
• Auto remove the zombie tabs with a lifebook.
• Add some useful examples.
• Coroutine support (for asyncio).
• Standard test cases.
• HTTP apis server [fastapi].
• Complete document.
