We are trying to run a php page which will run a python script using splinter. Although the python script is running and opening the browser throw the terminal, the php page starts the script using:

$output = shell_exec('/usr/bin/python2.7 script.py ' . '2>&1');

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 5, in with Browser() as browser:
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/splinter/browser.py", line 63, in Browser

but it wont open the browser. How can we fix it? Thanks.

  • That's not a PHP problem. It's a python problem. You're missing a library, or have the wrong version of a library. – Marc B Dec 02 '15 at 14:35
