[Question] Support of browserType.launchServer

[rushter]

Hi,

The nodejs package supports browserType.launchServer. Are there any plans to add this to Python package?

A lot of examples in Google use nodejs. Ideally, it would be cool to have exactly the same APIs for nodejs and Python.

Could you share more on your use case? Do you want it exactly the same? Would you be open to run nodejs server with Python client?

I want to control one Chrome instance from multiple processes and keep it always running. Ideally, on a remote host.

Nodejs server will work for me too.

Closing for now, the current preferred way is to use Node.js to launch a server, see here: https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsertype#browsertypelaunchserveroptions
