I've been working on a project like this that's nearing completion (it works, and the api is mostly complete). It differs from this in that it uses any normal browser to fulfill requests (via extensions).

The idea is to have a pythonic API to any browser that has reasonable support for extensions; i.e. a cross-browser scripting.

What does it offer over Selenium Webdriver? Yeah, the API is not terribly pythonic, but it's battle tested and stable, works across almost all browsers and there's always wrappers like Splinter (http://splinter.cobrateam.info/) if you prefer a more pythonic interface.
