I have got a lot of traction using mechanize [1] with nose [2]. Of course that still leaves out testing JavaScript. For that, something like PAMIE [3] is one way to go. [1] http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ [2] http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/ [3] http://pamie.sourceforge.net/ Here's an example of how I use mechanize + nose: # test_index.py from mechanize import Browser class TestPageLoads: def setup(self): self.mech = Browser() self.mech.set_handle_robots(False) # use thought and consideration... def test_nonexistent(self): try: response = self.mech.open("http://honyaku-archive.org/nonexistent/";) assert False, "Should have thrown here" except Exception, e: assert "404" in str(e), e def test_index(self): response = self.mech.open("http://honyaku-archive.org/";) assert response.code == 200, response.code def test_index_title(self): response = self.mech.open("http://honyaku-archive.org/";) assert self.mech.title().strip() == "Honyaku Archive :: Home", self.mech.title() Regards, Ryan Ginstrom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
