One problem i've had using python to script loading pages, is sometimes other pages you need things from load in frames based on a javascript load functions. PhantomJS solves this by emulating the browser... of course then you have to do everything in javascript.

Sure, but the JS you need is incredibly minimal and you can easily transport Phantom's output to whatever other application you can dream of.

I've seen a lot of headless apps outside of Phantom, but none of them work well enough for me to ditch the system above (Phantom :: Message Queue :: Other App).
