Is there a way to get current HTML from browser in Python?

Question

I am currently working on a HTML presentation, that works well, but I need the presentation to be followed simultaneously with a NAO robot who reads a special html tag. I somehow need to let him know, which slide I am on, so that he can choose the correct tag.

I use Beautiful Soup for scraping the HTML, but it does so from a file and not from a browser. The problem is, there is javascript running behind, assigning various classes to specific slides, that tell the current state of the presentation. And I need to be able to access those, but in the default state of the presentation they are not present and are added asynchronously throughout the process of the presentation.

Hopefully, my request is clear. Thank you for your time

http://www.seleniumhq.org/ (probably webdriver) is your friend. Initialize a browser and call browser.html to get the document in the current state.

机器人上有wget，您可以使用它...（尽管我不确定我知道问题出在哪里...）
