Automating Your Browser and Desktop Apps
summary
Shows how to automate browsers by running "pip install selenium", launching Selenium with Firefox, using find_element_by_css_selector, click and send_keys to read and submit page content, and how to control the desktop with PyAutoGUI to move the mouse, type, take screenshots and use locateOnScreen image matching. Demonstrations include a precise MS Paint square-spiral drawer and a sushi-game bot that works but needs exact window placement or fuzzy matching (OpenCV) for reliability.
