selenium - How to mouseover in python Webdriver

Question

It seems this is the way to do hover / mouseover in webdriver, at least in the java api:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
action.moveByOffset(1, 1).build().perform();

Is this possible in the Python api? The webdriver api docs for python don't seem to mention anything like it. http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/index.html

How is hover / mouseover done in python webdriver?

Answer 1

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains


def hover(self):
    wd = webdriver_connection.connection
    element = wd.find_element_by_link_text(self.locator)
    hov = ActionChains(wd).move_to_element(element)
    hov.perform()
