pytanium
A front-end web testing tool in Python
Why
We need a front-end testing tool that combines the strengths of existing tools

**Sahi supports running a script line by line. For introspection, JavaScript must be executed while the script is paused.
How
Pytanium uses the python binding for selenium. To provide the features not typically included with Selenium (AJAX waits, blocking print calls, etc), pytanium injects javascript on nearly every call to the browser. This doesn’t have a noticeable impact on performance.
Language Features
Pytanium makes it easy to switch from Selenium, Sahi, or Watir. In doing so, it supports a lot of the same syntax from each of these tools.
Selenium
If you’re writing selenium with python you don’t have to change your existing code, it’s syntactically correct pytanium code.
Sahi
Pytanium’s features are heavily inspired by Sahi, so a lot of Sahi’s syntax works.
Recorder/Object spy
Sahi has an excellent object spy and recorder. The pytanium recorder will be a fork of Sahi Open Source with added pytanium support.
