Last post by Ivek23 - 8 24 May, 2026, 08:00:46 AMThis is copied from the archived "Internet Archive" Python (+Selenium) Chrome general script page (afrocuban user)
This is fork and upgrade of Ivek's selenium script found here:
For this to work ensure that:
This script:
For using relative path, ensure:
To silently invoke selenium script itself by PVD's .psf script (no pop-up windows of selenium script's cmd window), be sure to use pythonw.exe instead of python.exe, like this for example:
Now, the last one will probably be ensured by those who maintain corresponding scripts if interested in, and for now, those are Ivek and me, but be sure to check if it's there anyway.
From this point on, everything is automated and headless.[/quote]
This is fork and upgrade of Ivek's selenium script found here:
Quotehttp://mailmirdoch.net/index.php?topic=60.0
For this to work ensure that:
QuoteA. You installed python
B. You installed selenium by
quote]pip install seleniumQuoteC. You have your Chrome bin on a PATH
D. You have Python folder on your PATH
E. pythonw.exe is not missing, or it's containing folder is on the PATH
This script:
Quote1. Uses Chrome browser instead Firefox
2. Uses chromedriver.exe instead geckodriver
3. Starts chromedriver.exe silently
4. Silently invokes browser in a headless mode (no pop-up windows of browser)
5. Scrapes .htm page of a given url
6. No path is needed to set manually inside the script - it is set to be relative to the path of selenium script!
For using relative path, ensure:
Quote6A. You put this script into "Scripts" folder of your PVD instance.
6B. You put appropirate chromedriver.exe to the "Script" folder, too.
To silently invoke selenium script itself by PVD's .psf script (no pop-up windows of selenium script's cmd window), be sure to use pythonw.exe instead of python.exe, like this for example:
QuoteFileExecute('pythonw.exe', '"' + ScriptPath + 'selenium_script-Chrome.py" "' + URL + '" "' + ScriptPath + BASE_DOWNLOAD_FILE_NO_BOM + '"');
Now, the last one will probably be ensured by those who maintain corresponding scripts if interested in, and for now, those are Ivek and me, but be sure to check if it's there anyway.

Last post by Ivek23 - 7 24 May, 2026, 07:38:21 AMPython Selenium script
Python Selenium script, which is used together with IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_Aka script is added here. Python Selenium script unzip and add it to the Scripts folder of the program.
Python Selenium script called selenium_aw_script.py exactly the same as selenium_script.py except that this script is very useful for imdb websites where there are many more buttons, like awards or other similar pages. It is also useful for the new IMDB_People_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2_full script, where it downloads all pages with information, where it is also necessary to open more more buttons.
Edit it according to the instructions for use are in the first post above.
Added several different Python Selenium scripts and archived "Internet Archive" Python scripts documentation and instructions page in pdf format.
