Looks good! One of the best reasons to learn python: automating the boring stuff. If you like to write these scripts, definitely check out this book (free online): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;automatetheboringstuff.com&#x2F;</a><p>With all that said, I&#x27;m baffled as to why this automation script for a particular Google form --a protected one, no less -- is on the front page...

Good work. As someone who has dabbled a bit in Python scraping and forms, I can appreciate the amount of work that must have gone into this.

I&#x27;ve found selenium to be very heavy and unreliable but perhaps it&#x27;s needed to deal with whatever barrage of cookies and verification Google implements? Did you find it easy to use? I use either mechanize (works like a headless browser, handles cookies, forms, etc) or beautiful soup for scraping.
