Headless Browser

A headless browser is a web browser without a graphical user interface.

Headless browsers provide automated control of a web page in an environment similar to popular web browsers, but are executed via a command-line interface or using network communication.

They are particularly useful for testing web pages as they are able to render and understand HTML the same way a browser would, including execution of JavaScript and AJAX which are usually not available when using other testing methods.

Headless browsers are used for:

• Test automation in modern web applications.

Adventures in Python Core Dumping

After watching Bryan Cantrill's presentation on [Running Aground: Debugging Docker in Production][aground] I got all excited (and strangely nostalgic) about the possibility of core-dumping server-side Python apps whenever they go awry. This would theoretically allow me to fully inspect the state of the program at the point it exploded, rather than relying solely on the information of a stack trace.

Python et l'injection de dépendance

Ah, ça... quand on parle d'injection et de dépendance, on s'attend tout de suite à se prendre une flopée de visiteurs en manque de substance plus ou moins illicites. En réalité, on va parler "pattern". Et surtout, je vais lancer un vieux pavé dans la marre en disant qu'en Python c'est pas super utile, ou du moins que le langage permet déjà de le gérer sans se faire mal.
