how to use PyV8 and httplib to interpret javascript

Question

I would like to write my own web test engine that will request (get/post) my wsgi application and i would like my client to interpret the return page that contains some javascript code.

Basically it is how to use a PyV8 to make a headless browser.

Thx

Unless you really want to do this project yourself, have you considered using PhantomJS (home page)? It's a headless WebKit with support for scripting in Javascript, and has both C++ and Python implementations (though the Python version seems slightly less well-supported than the C++ version, and there was some chatter on the mailing list about discontinuing Python development).

Yes, it sure beats curl :-). Usually I use something like Nokogiri to do these sorts of things, but PhantomJS is very nice.
