But the XPATH based expression language exposed via selenium is not hard either. That ties with the browser well and most often when we have to determine the correct DOM for the elements in the path, anything browser based becomes more useful. -- Senthil ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] Is there any relation between web2py and webpy
Other than the fact that they are both web frameworks. Given their levenshtein distance being 1, I am really curious if there any social or historical relationship between then. -- Senthil ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

While the explaination on __nonzero__ is useful out of this context, how can list be a generator? I am assuming that none are confusing the terminologies. A list can't be a generator but if you write a function to receive an iterable x and then do a len(x) to check it it's True or False, it will work fine for lists but passing a generator this function might have unpredictable results. That's why I'm cautioning against using `len` to check for whether an object is empty or not. In practical cases for testing boolean in lists, just use the list as the test. Empty list is false. Agreed. This is the right way to do it rather than using len. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in Why don't you pair `em up in threes? -Yogi Berra ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

Linky : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGPostUOAEI Selenium Webdriver Python API is easy to understand. The API doesn't force to do in one style, because it's not a framework. It gives freedom to choose your testing tools like nose, py.test etc. BTW, I have written some docs for using the default API; http://readthedocs.org/docs/selenium-python/en/latest/ Regards, Baiju M ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
