#Python example - use chrome driver to open google url and enter into search bar "Why is python so awesome"

#required imports

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

#open driver
PATH_TO_DRIVER = './chromedriver'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=PATH_TO_DRIVER)

#launch url using driver

#find element to manipulate e.g. by element name. 'q' is the element name of the google search bar
element = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
