Obscura Python SDK

Playwright-like Python entry points for the Rust Obscura browser fork. The SDK uses Playwright's own Python objects and CDP client; it does not download Chromium.

Install from this directory with pip install -e .. On first use, the SDK downloads the matching release from Willianjesusdasilva/obscura into its own obscura-python data directory. Set OBSCURA_PYTHON_HOME to choose the root. OBSCURA_EXECUTABLE, executable_path, or a binary on PATH can override that download.

The package also installs the obscura-python command, which forwards CLI arguments to the Rust executable:

pip install obscura-python
obscura-python fetch https://example.com --dump text

With uv, install it as a tool:

uv tool install obscura-python
obscura-python --version

Releases are published by GitHub Actions. Create a tag such as v0.1.0 after configuring the repository as a Trusted Publisher for the obscura-python project on PyPI; the workflow builds and uploads the wheel and source archive without storing a PyPI token in GitHub.

For a local checkout use uv tool install ./python, or add it to a project with uv add ./python. The first execution may require internet access to download the Rust browser binary; set OBSCURA_EXECUTABLE for offline use.

from obscura.async_api import async_playwright

async with async_playwright() as p:
    browser = await p.chromium.launch(proxy={"server": "http://127.0.0.1:8080"})
    page = await browser.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://example.com")
    print(await page.title())
    await browser.close()

Each launch chooses a free loopback port and starts an independent process. connect_over_cdp() connects to an external process and never terminates it. Obscura is headless only; unsupported launch options produce explicit errors.
