mozinstall --- Install and uninstall Gecko-based applications

mozinstall is a small python module with several convenience methods useful for installing and uninstalling a gecko-based application (e.g. Firefox) on the desktop.

tempdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
firefox_dmg = 'firefox-38.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg'
install_folder = mozinstall.install(src=firefox_dmg, dest=tempdir)
binary = mozinstall.get_binary(install_folder, 'Firefox')
# from here you can execute the binary directly
# ...
mozinstall.uninstall(install_folder)
