Client for talking to the Google Chrome remote shell port
Project description
This library makes it easy to communicate with the Google Chrome remote debugging shell from Python. To make the shell available, start Chrome with this option:
google-chrome --remote-shell-port=9222
Then you can connect from Python through code like this:
>>> import chrome_remote_shell >>> shell = chrome_remote_shell.open(port=9222) >>> shell.request('DevToolsService', command='ping') {u'data': u'ok', u'command': u'ping', u'result': 0}
The protocol is described in detail at:
http://code.google.com/p/chromedevtools/wiki/ChromeDevToolsProtocol
As a convenience, the shell connection object offers a method that, by injecting JavaScript into the first tab, commands Chrome to open a URL in a new tab:
shell.open_url('http://www.aldaily.com/')
CHANGELOG
2009 Feb 26. Added a conditional import of simplejson so that the module runs under Python 2.5.
