Question

I am trying to install python-selenium bindings by seeing here

When i am trying to import the following command, it is showing an error below

from selenium.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver

Result:

from selenium.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named firefox.webdriver

I searched a lot to solve this, but i didn’t get the right example to do this, can anyone please provide me a way and an example on how to install python selenium bindings and why the above error is returned.

Thanks in advance……….

Edited :
I editing my code according to below answer,and tried the following , i got the below

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.21.3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.binary, timeout),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.21.3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/extension_connection.py", line 47, in __init__

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium-2.21.3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_binary.py", line 81, in _wait_until_connectable
    self._get_firefox_output())
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. The output was: *** LOG addons.xpi: startup\n*** LOG addons.xpi: checkForChanges\n*** LOG addons.xpi: Opening database\n*** LOG addons.xpi: No changes found\nFailed to dlopen /usr/lib/libX11.so.6\ndlerror says: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32\n' 

And also saying that there is some crash in firefox 1.0....

Answer 1

As stated on that page they have re-organized the package. Use the second code listing I have posted here.

One advantage of using trunk as of writing, is the reorganization of the package. Previously, to initialize a browser you had to perform,

from selenium.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
driver = WebDriver()

This has been changed, so now all that is required is:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

EDIT (for new error):

Are you running this from a linux server with no X display? Firefox requires a display to render itself. Take a look at PyVirtualDisplay for running “headless” (without X).
