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.
