EXAMPLE OF CODE WITH SELENIUM AND FIREFOX:

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display  
from selenium import webdriver

display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()

# now Firefox will run in a virtual display. 
# you will not see the browser.
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
print browser.title
browser.quit()

display.stop()

EXAMPLE OF CODE WITH GOOGLE HEADLESS

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

display = Display(visible=0, size=(1200, 800))
display.start()
# start Chrome
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=1200x800")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
browser.get('http://google.com/')
print(browser.title)
browser.quit()
display.stop()

Example with phantomjs

 browser = webdriver.PhantomJS("phantomjs")
browser.get("https://twitter.com/StackStatus")
print(browser.title)

pause = 3

lastHeight = browser.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
print(lastHeight)
i = 0
browser.save_screenshot("/code/screenshots/test03_1_" + str(i) + ".png")
while True:
    browser.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    time.sleep(pause)
    newHeight = browser.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
    print(newHeight)
    if newHeight == lastHeight:
        break
    lastHeight = newHeight
    i += 1
    browser.save_screenshot("/code/screenshots/test03_1_" + str(i) + ".png")

browser.quit()
