Could someone describe the key differences to Phantomjs (indirectly referred to in credits via Casper.js) Phantomjs has just recently stopped their Python support.
I have done this somewhat more directly with PyQt4. I wonder wether it's useful to have this layer in between. Whereby it seem to have some useful tools. This is the main code: * https://github.com/jeanphix/Ghost.py/blob/master/ghost/ghost... * https://github.com/jeanphix/Ghost.py/blob/master/ghost/utils... If you are interested, this is some own code where I just use PyQt4 directly: * https://github.com/albertz/goog…
I forget the exact details, but fetching the URL just kicked off a job on their server and returned some Javascript to execute. The Javascript did "something" while the data was being fetched/processed on the server, and eventually decided when it could start the real download.
I spent a while trying to figure out the Javascript, but finally came up with the PyQt/WebKit approach.
It's the ugliest download code in the world, but it's up on GitHub: https://github.com/jl2/GIS-Stuff/blob/master/map_download/ne...
I'm not sure how useful something like Ghost would have been. I was basically using it as a glorified urllib.request, though, and it doesn't look like that's the main use case for Ghost.

Phantom js has to run as it's own process, so no support for node or anything similar. This looks like it can run within something like django.

There is a project on github where this was taken a step further via dnode ( https://github.com/sgentle/phantomjs-node ) - you get access to the phantomjs objects, get/set properties and access the phantomjs api methods.
Will certainly have a deeper look into ghost.py
Is it possible to run jQuery inside Ghost.py to parse HTML with it?
