How do I package a Python web scraper as a Chrome Extension?

I made an Amazon Web Scraper and I want it work as an extension. What will happen is that it will display the price if it is lower than the previously recorded price. I don't know Javascript. I went through things like Transcrypt but didn't understand much
You cannot. Chrome extensions are written in JS.
The only way to accomplish what you want is to use the extension as a bridge from users browser to your script. You'll need to convert the script into a server of some kind that can accept requests from the extension and respond.

Python Sequential Downloads

I am trying to download PDFs from my school server, but the way it is set up by the stupid IT department is that we have to click each link one by one and there are hundreds of PDFs on the same page with links.
How can I download using python or wget "2015-0001.pdf" "2015-0002.pdf" "2015-0003.pdf"
I have tried wget --accept pdf,zip,7z,doc --recursive but it only grabs the index.html file of the site and no actual files.

Writing a script to download everything on a server

I want to download all the files that are publicly accessible on this site:
https://www.duo.uio.no/
This is the site for the university of Oslo, and here we can find every paper/thesis that is publicly available from the archives of the university. I tried a crawler, but the website has set some mechanism for stopping crawlers accessing their documents. Are there any other ways of doing this?
Did not mention this in the original question, but what I want is all the pdf files on the server. I tried SiteSucker, but that seems to just download the site itself.
wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension --convert-links --restrict-file-names=unix,ascii --domains your-site.com --no-parent http://your-site.com
try it
You could try using site sucker (download), that allows you to download the contents of a website, ignoring any rules they may have in place.
