Author:

Selenium Python Client Driver is a Python language binding for Selenium Remote Control (version 1.0 and 2.0).

Currently the remote protocol, Firefox and Chrome for Selenium 2.0 are supported, as well as the Selenium 1.0 bindings. As work will progresses we’ll add more “native” drivers.

See here for more information.

Installing

Python Client

pip install -U selenium

Java Server

Download the server from http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.0a4.jar

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0a4.jar

Example

from selenium.remote import connect
from selenium import FIREFOX
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from time import sleep

browser = connect(FIREFOX) # Get local session of firefox
browser.get("http://www.yahoo.com") # Load page
assert browser.get_title() == "Yahoo!"
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("p") # Find the query box
elem.send_keys("selenium\n")
sleep(0.2) # Let the page load, will be added to the API
try:
    browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'http://seleniumhq.org')]")
except NoSuchElementException:
    assert 0, "can't find seleniumhq"
browser.close()
