Howto selenium testing infratstructure with python?

Question

Any suggestions on how to setup a selenium testing environment using python. I know question is vague but for being the standard for web front end testing selenium does not want to seem to work, a useful tutorial would be fine.

My current dev environment is setup like this:

Checked out code: /home/workspace/trunk
Python Path: /var/python
Then I have a Repo Server, Dev Server and Prod Server

I would like to be able to easily switch between basically bleeding edge, beta, and production

Where should I be putting my selenium? Firefox Profile? this stuff has been confusing me forever on how to properly set it up.

I would suggest you to have a look at Splinter. It adds a layer above Selenium which makes the process of running and writing tests easer. — brandizzi

Assuming your using Selenium 2 (AKA webdriver), and you should because it's awesome, it will create a new, temporary, profile for you and install the extension is uses to drive the browser. So just write your test suite and create your driver instance in your test and use it.
