Very interesting project, keep it up.
Based on "scriptable" and the short example I'd guess this is a headless browser ala PhantomJS, but then it says it requires PyQt/PySide so maybe not?
Can someone please explain what this does? I'm a little unclear.
It lets you interact with a version of webkit via python. Useful for writing programs to interact with websites that normally require a user to press buttons.
How does this compare to mechanize?
Wow, this is nice, anyone know how to take screenshot with this? Also how is this compared to Splash[0]?

Shameless plug, a while ago I wrote a micro rest api (ghost.py + flask) to take screenshots and optionally upload them to S3: http://gedrap.github.io/lightshot/

It still needs some extra work to be production ready though, please feel free to email me or create a github issue if you think it might useful for you :)
