  Ariya Hidayat & co have put a monumental amount of effort into exposing the inner workings of webkit in phantomjs - I'm not sure I see the necessity for a python rewrite.

A great start for sure, but unless there are some fundamental shortcomings with phantomjs that I'm unaware of, I agree with boothead that python bindings are probably the way to go.

      phantomjs will target Qt5 in the next release, 2.0.

  There were a set of Python bindings for phantom.js named PyPhantomjs, and it was included in actual phantom releases, but the maintainer moved away from the project, no-one stepped forward and it was ultimately removed from the project (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10344 https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10344). So this project is really useful.
