Is there a way to use PhantomJS in Python?

Question

I want to use PhantomJS in Python. I googled this problem but couldn\'t find proper solutions.

I find os.popen() may be a good choice. But I couldn\'t

Answer 1

Now since the GhostDriver comes bundled with the PhantomJS, it has become even more convenient to use it through Selenium.

I tried the Node installation of PhantomJS, as suggested by Pykler, but in practice I found it to be slower than the standalone installation of PhantomJS. I guess standalone installation didn't provided these features earlier, but as of v1.9, it very much does so.

1. Install PhantomJS (http://phantomjs.org/download.html) (If you are on Linux, following instructions will help https://stackoverflow.com/a/14267295/382630)
2. Install Selenium using pip.

Now you can use like this

import selenium.webdriver
driver = selenium.webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get('http://google.com')
# do some processing

driver.quit()
