So, with python i've seen that you can open a website using the code
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://www.example.com", new=2)
but i really want to know how you could close the same specific tab using python.
If you can help please do. Thank you.
webbrowser module has no methods to close browser's tabs
I don't think you can. You might wanna try Selenium though.

If I had a print() statement, for example:
print('https://www.google.com')
Is there a way to make a link clickable? And would the same apply for a file path, like this:
print('path/to/file')
What I need is a way to print a link/path to a terminal and then to be able to open it by clicking on it. Is this possible? If yes, how?
Python itself has nothing to do with this behavior- its functionality provided by your terminal emulator.
However, you can open a link programmatically in the browser within python using the builtin webbrowser module, for instance:
from webbrowser import open_new_tab
open_new_tab("https://www.google.com")
In some scenarios, this may be sufficient.
I want to click on the button to close the message that is being written.
I try with this code, but it does not work for me:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="Cerrar"]').click()
Can you help me? Thanks very much.
You need to click this element: //img[#alt="Close"]
So, the Selenium python command to do this is
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//img[#alt="Close"]').click()
unless your code needs to use selenium i think that pyautogui would be better for this. it can move your mouse to a specific coordinate or look for the close button and then click it
import pyautogui
pyautogui.moveTo(x=(your x), y=(your y))
pyautogui.click()
i dont know much about selenium so im sorry i cant use that to help you but i hope this helps.
The built-in method close:
The close() method is used to close the current browser window on which the focus is set, on the other hand, the quit() method essentially calls the driver. dispose of a method that successively closes all the browser windows and ends the WebDriver session graciously.
You want to use click when interacting with elements
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="Cerrar"]').click()
If that doesn't work, please share the HTML code.
I'm wondering if it is possible to use Selenium to write to the Chrome console with python. I do not mean by using send_keys to press F12 and open the console then send more keys to write. If this isn't possible, are they any libraries or APIs that would let me do this? Thanks!
You can look at the problem with another view, try to use browser.execute_script and pass console.log("whatever you want to write in the console") , this will print that sentence in the console
You can of course change it to your own needs but you get the idea
Im am writing a piece of code where it is vital that the browser stays open however i need to be able to close windows, to stop the browser from over populating. I have been using the webbrowser module but it seems that webbrowser doesnt have a way of close the tab once open. Any ideas?
Remember the browser must stay open, so killing all tabs will close the browser. I must only close the tabs that were opened by my code!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this isn't in the right place, feel free to move it.
Software:
Python 3.6.4 (32 bit)
Modules used:
Time, Random and Webbrowser.
Webbrowser is a limited api module for interfacing with popular browsers.
The way I see it you have a few options:
Find a module pertaining to the particular browser you're dealing with.
Work with the api of the browser(s) you're working with directly
Request feature of webbrowser in the future, but won't help you now, as they likely won't implement it any time soon.
I wanted to make a python 3 program that types something in another window, such as Google Chrome.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
This question is a little open ended, but it sounds like you want an http server. You can use either SimpleHTTPServer or make your own from scratch. A basic HelloWorld for using python3's http module is here. I used this simple guide to help me understand the basics of web servers in python. Hope this helps!
import pyautogui
searchbar = (x, y)
text_or_url = "hello word!"
pyautogui.click(searchbar)
pyautogui.typewrite(text_or_url)
pyautogui.typewrite([Enter])
Use pywinauto lib
It is very easy.
For example you have opened notepad window and opened 'Save as' dialog and want to type filename:
from pywinauto import application
app = application.Application()
app.connect(title='test1.txt - Notepad')
app.SaveAs.Edit1.type_keys("C:\\test2.txt")
Use pywinauto lib
filePath.set_text('D:\\aa.txt')
inpuMsg.type_keys('D:\\aa.txt')
set_text
type_keys
