wabot/README.md
Mathew Sir Guest the best 5ec5ad615a docs: rewrite README and CLAUDE.md for the modernized library
Reflect the final architecture (Browser facade in _browser.py, JSON
session persistence, ManagedService/ExternalServer hosts, pacing
policies), correct the stale "no test suite" claim now that uv +
pytest (140 unit + 9 integration) + ruff + Sphinx are in place, and
round out .gitignore with .venv/, .pytest_cache/, .ruff_cache/.

WABot — Web Automator Bot

Stateful Selenium browser automation for Python. Model pages as classes, drive them through one facade, and — the flagship — keep the browser alive after your process exits so another Python process can pick it up by name.

import wabot

bot = wabot.browser(session="scraper1", browser="firefox")
bot.driver.get("https://example.com/login")
# ... log in; process exits; browser stays open ...

# a different process, later:
bot = wabot.browser(session="scraper1", browser="firefox")  # reattaches

Human-like pacing (random delays, randomized click positions) is on by default; pass pacing=wabot.NoPacing() for full speed.

uv run pytest                             # unit tests (fast, no browsers)
uv run pytest -m integration              # real headless-browser tests
