PageFactory Implementation in Python

[SimSel]

Hi,

I have seen a similar message posted about a year ago. Still wanted to
confirm if there is a pagefactory implementation in Python or plans of
making one?

Thanks,
S

I don't think one is in the works by anyone on the dev team. Feel free to submit a patch and/or log a new issue for it in the issues list

I have created a module called `pageobject_support` that implements PageFactory pattern in a pythonic way. Please refer to the [comment](http://stackoverflow.com/a/30758982/1691598) for more details.

With this module, Google Search page could be modelled as follows:

 from pageobject_support import cacheable, callable_find_by as find_by
 from selenium.webdriver.common.by.By


 class GoogleSearchPage(object):
 
    _search_box = find_by(how=By.NAME, using='q', cacheable=True)
 
    _search_button = find_by(name='btnK')
 
    def __init__(self, driver):
        self._driver = driver
 
    def search(self, keywords):
        self._search_box().click()
        self._search_box().send_keys(keywords)
        self._search_button().click()
