Description: CProto
        ======
        
        **CProto** is a Debugging Protocol client that supports Chrome, Chromium
        and Blink based browsers.
        
        **CProto** provides you an advanced interface to interact with Chrome
        (or another supported browser) instance from your Python code. It's
        greatly useful for automated testing, debugging, profiling or even
        complicated page crawling.

        Getting Started
        ---------------
        
        Installing CProto
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Python *2.7* or *3.3+* is required to install **CProto**.
        
        Install the latest version using pip:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
           $ pip install cproto
        
        Running Chrome in Debug mode
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Option 1: `Run Chrome in Docker`_, also in Headless mode.
        
        Option 2: Run Chrome on host machine:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
           # «chrome» should point to your installation of Chrome
           chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 "about:blank"
        
           # If you haven't created alias for Chrome yet, you could set it on MacOS like that:
           # For Chrome
           alias chrome="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"
           # For Chrome Canary
           alias chrome-canary="/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary"
           # For Chromium
           alias chromium="/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium"
        
        API Docs
        --------
        
        `Chrome Debugging Protocol documentation.`_
        
        **CProto** complies to official Chrome Debugging Protocol, which
        implicates CProto's interface has the same API as Chrome Debugging
        Protocol. Consider this example:
        
        .. code:: python
        
           from cproto import CProto
        
        
           # Print event's response and close CProto connection
           def on_load(response):
               print(response)
               cp.close()
        
        
           # Create CProto instance and connect to a browser over CDP
           cp = CProto(host='127.0.0.1', port=9222)
           # Enable Page domain events
           cp.Page.enable()
           # Adds Page callback that's fired after is loaded
           cp.Page.loadEventFired = on_load
           # Navigate browser to Github
           cp.Page.navigate(url='https://github.com')
        
        In this example `Page Domain API`_ was used to navigate to any arbitrary
        URL. There are a whole bunch of other methods and events available for
        each Domain, you could browse all of them on the CDP documentation
        website.
        
        Roadmap
        -------
        
        -  ☒ Domains support
        -  ☒ Methods support
        -  ☒ Events support
        
        Under consideration:
        
        -  Asynchronous I/O support using **asyncio**
        
        Headless Chrome in Docker
        -------------------------
        
        You could use `Docker`_ to run **CProto** with Chrome Headless mode on
        any major OS via *command line interface*.
        
        .. code:: sh
        
           # Clone the repository
           $ git clone git@github.com:asyne/cproto.git
        
           # Build Docker image for Chrome Headless
           $ docker build -t chrome-headless cproto
        
           # Run Docker Chrome Headless mode container with port 9222 being proxied to the host machine
           $ docker run --rm -it --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -p 9222:9222 chrome-headless
        
           # That's all here. Chrome Debugging interface is now up and listening for connections.
           # You could check it out by opening this link in your browser – http://localhost:9222.
