An fork of pypuppeteer used by Webrecorder for automation that has been modified to meet our needs.
Notable Additions to the API / code base per our own use-case:
- Changes to allow control of latests revisions of both Chrome and Chromium
- Changes to facilitate using the uvloop event loop
- Changes to input handling for
evaluateOnNewDocument - Tracking child frame life cyles individually
- Less strict application defaults
- Keeps to date with puppeteer
Simplechrome requires python 3.6+.
Install latest version from github:
pip install -U git+https://github.com/webrecorder/simplechrome.git@master
Note: When you run simplechrome first time (if you do not supply an
executablePath), it will download a recent version of Chromium (~100MB).
Example: Go to a web page and take a screenshot.
import asyncio
import uvloop
from simplechrome import launch
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())
async def main():
browser = await launch()
page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('http://example.com')
await page.screenshot({'path': 'example.png'})
await browser.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
