Re:Phantompy - Headless WebKit engine for Python, like phant... by encoderer on Tuesday May 21, 2013 @01:29PM (#5745217)
There are so many half-baked headless browser projects, many building in some way on PyQT. I've made heavy use of Spynner and Ghost. Spynner especially. It always seemed to offer exactly what I needed but the inconsistent docs and endlessly-deep stack always seemed to leave successful implementation just beyond my grasp.

Now, as an OSS maintainer myself, I sympathize. But I'd love it if this or another one of these projects started breaking away from the pack and could build some critical mass. I'm all for democratization but in this case I'd gladly trade 10 mostly working projects for a single solution ran by an iron-fisted BDFL if it meant decent docs and a mostly stable API.
