In order to install Splinter, make sure Python is installed. Note: only Python 2.7+ is supported. 目前splinter支持Python2.7以上的版本,请在对应官网下载 http://www.python.org. Linux 和 Mac OS X有可能已经安装了对应的python
Splinter有两种安装方法如下:
稳定的版本安装方法
$ [sudo] pip install splinter
最新版本但不一定是最稳定的版本安装方法
$ git clone git://github.com/cobrateam/splinter.git
$ cd splinter
$ [sudo] python setup.py install
firefox WebDriver是依赖Selenium 2.0的,因此需要安装Selenium 2.0,方法如下:
$ [sudo] pip install selenium
PS:firefox也是需要的啊
通过以下方法create一个firefox的实例:
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox')
PS:Browser()中不指定,默认还是firefox
You can specify a Firefox profile for using on Browser function using the profile keyword (passing the name of the profile as a str instance):
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox', profile='my_profile')
If you don’t specify a profile, a new temporary profile will be created (and deleted when you close the browser).
An extension for firefox is a .xpi archive. To use an extension in Firefox webdriver profile you need to give the path of the extension, using the extensions keyword (passing the extensions as a list instance):
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox', extensions=['extension1.xpi', 'extension2.xpi'])
If you give an extension, after you close the browser, the extension will be deleted from the profile, even if is not a temporary one.
from splinter import Browser browser = Browser(‘firefox’, capabilities={‘acceptSslCerts’: True}) You can pass any selenium read-write DesiredCapabilities parameters for Firefox.
To use the Chrome driver, all you need to do is pass the string chrome when you create the Browser instance:
from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('chrome')
Note: if you don’t provide any driver to Browser function, firefox will be used.
Note: if you have trouble with $HOME/.bash_profile, you can try $HOME/.bashrc.
Remote WebDriver is provided by Selenium2. To use it, you need to install Selenium2 via pip: $ [sudo] pip install selenium
To use the remote web driver, you need to have access to a Selenium remote webdriver server. Setting up one of these servers is beyond the scope of this document. However, some companies provide access to a Selenium Grid as a service.
To use the Remote WebDriver, you need to pass driver_name="remote" and url=when you create the Browser instance.
You can also pass additional arguments that correspond to Selenium DesiredCapabilities arguments.
Here is an example that uses Sauce Labs (a company that provides Selenium remote webdriver servers as a service) to request an Internet Explorer 9 browser instance running on Windows 7.
remote_server_url = ... # Specify the server URL
with Browser(driver_name="remote",
url=remote_server_url,
browser='internetexplorer',
platform="Windows 7",
version="9",
name="Test of IE 9 on WINDOWS") as browser:
print("Link to job: https://saucelabs.com/jobs/{}".format(
browser.driver.session_id))
browser.visit("http://splinter.readthedocs.org")
browser.find_link_by_text('documentation').first.click()
It is possible to manipulate cookies using the cookies attribute from a Browser instance. The cookies attribute is a instance of a CookieManager class that manipulates cookies, like adding and deleting them.
To add a cookie use the add method: browser.cookies.add({'whatever': 'and ever'})
To retrieve all cookies use the all method: browser.cookies.all()
You can delete one or more cookies with the delete method:
browser.cookies.delete('mwahahahaha') # deletes the cookie 'mwahahahaha'
browser.cookies.delete('whatever', 'wherever') # deletes two cookies
You can also delete all cookies: just call the delete method without any parameters:
browser.cookies.delete() # deletes all cookies
For more details check the API reference of the CookieManager class.

Chooses a value in a radio buttons group.
