Can Python Selenium webdriver use websockets?

I'm interested in using python webdriver with websockets to control firefox, first locally and then remotely. I don't find many documentation or examples on google, although there is some evidence that this is possible (e.g. http://blog.imanel.org/moving-forward-with-websockets )

I usually work locally with webdriver, connecting with something like:

    driver = webdriver.Firefox (executable_path="PATHTOFIREFOX", desired_capabilities=dcap)

      

        
        
        
      

    

Is this possible, and if so, how will the connection to the driver be made?
