FireFox Marionette Client for asyncio
aiomarionette provides an asynchronous client interface for the Firefox Marionette remote control protocol.
Usage
To use aiomarionette, create an instance of the Marionette class. By
default, the cclient will attempt to connect to the Marionette socket on the
local machine, port 2828. You can specify the host and/or port arguments to
change this. Be sure to call the connect method first, before calling any
of the command methods.
async with aiomarionette.Marionette() as mn:
mn.connect()
mn.navigate('https://getfirefox.com/')
Compared to marionette_driver
The official Python client for Firefox Marionette is marionette_driver. Although it is more complete than aiomarionette (at least for now), it only provides a blocking API.
Unlike marionette_driver, aiomarionette does not currently support launching Firefox directly. You must explicity start a Firefox process in Marionette mode before connecting to it with aiomarionette.
