Description     : browser-based web test framework for Python

 From the web page:

"""
SST (selenium-simple-test) is a web test framework that
uses Python to generate functional browser-based tests.

Tests are made up of scripts, created by composing
actions that drive a browser and assert conditions. You
have the flexibilty of the full Python language, along
with a convenient set of functions to simplify web
testing.

SST consists of:

  * user actions and assertions (API) in Python
  * test case loader (generates/compiles scripts to
    unittest cases)
  * console test runner
  * data parameterization/injection
  * selectable output reports
  * selectable browsers
  * headless (xvfb) mode
  * screenshots on errors

Test output can be displayed to the console, saved as
an HTML report, or JUnit-compatible XML for
compatibility with CI systems.

thanks

SST cannot be packaged before python-selenium is in a good shape.
There is no progress for three or four years, however.

I moved all my web testing code from selenium and SST to
ghost.py and unittest and do not look back. See here:
