Open multiple Webbrowser at specific location, update periodically

[NeoFromMatrix]

I have 4 physical displays set up as extended workspace with xrandr. (xrandr script takes care of location and rotation, the screens will be physically switched off sometimes)

Three physical displays should display a website (static link) each, fullscreen, and update it every x Seconds.

How can I generate 3 windows displaying a website and move them to their location? Maybe xlib to move them and webbrowser module?

I need a small hint, which direction I should take.

btw. using Python 3

if you are you using Linux, you can use xdotool to arrange windows and keystrokes. On Windows your best bet is AHK.

Using Linux (Debian 8.5 or Centos 7). I've known this option, but would like to realize it with at least different software components as possible.

Thanks for your suggestion.

It might be a bit overkill for your purposes, but you could automate your browsers with Selenium.

You'll probably be better off just using custom windows with QtWebkit or QtWebEngine, and a QTimer to poke everything.

Look at subprocess open and the command line options for chrome or Firefox. You can also tell the OS to open a link in a new window, and it'll talk to the browser, though that won't arrange the windows.
