AndroidWebDriver4Python is an addon to Selenium Python Client Driver

This addon supports multiple real devices simultaneously from release 1.1, but not supports emulators. I have not figured out yet.

As I could not find Android WebDriver implementation in it,and I really like Python as opposed to Java. So I want to implement one. I know that I am a newbie, I do not expect to commit in the Selenium project.

More infomation about Selenium, plz check http://code.google.com/p/selenium/

Installing

To install this AndroidDriver for Python, you need:

1. download AndroidWebDriver4Python using command:

$ git clone git://github.com/truebit/AndroidWebDriver4Python.git

2. download and extract Selenium Python client
3. copy the entire py folder under AndroidWebDriver4Python to merge the same one in root directory of AndroidDriver for Python
4. back to the root directory of Selenium Python Client, to install this modified version using command:

$ python setup.py install

Here you have installed this AndroidWebDriver4Python add-on. There are some prerequisites to use AndroidWebDriver4Python.

• Install Android SDK and set its tools and platform-tools in your PATH

• Install Android server side application android-server-2.x.x.apk on your device

Example
