python - Using webbrowser instead of Selenium

Question

I am trying to make an auto yt searcher and this is as far as I got. I don't really understand on how to user selenium so I am using web-browser what's currently not happening is it is not opening or searching on the search bar (I used the XPath)or does anyone know a tutorial for selenium

import webbrowser
import time


url = 'http://youtube.com'

chrome_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'

webbrowser.get(chrome_path).open(url)

LastName = "nice"

time.sleep(2)

last = webbrowser.open('//*[@id="search"]')

webbrowser.get(LastName)

Answer 1

You can't use the actual Google Chrome Browser.

Instead you have to use ChromeDriver that works the same as the standard Chrome but you can use it with selenium.

You can download it here.

Once installed specify the correct path of chromedriver.
