[amber comet]

i got 2 questions:

1. why selenium, why not requests+bs4
2. the only thing i know this could be used for conflicts with rule 5 are u sure thats not the case?

!rule 5

[wicked sluice]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[calm scarab]

its to run a specific code

also why does rule 5 gets involed here

[amber comet]

scrapers

[calm scarab]

whats scrapers

c'est quoi ça?

kretén

[amber comet]

its a program to get data from a site

without an api

[calm scarab]

yeah idk whats that

scrapers?

idk

so can u help

[amber comet]

ok whats the goal?

[calm scarab]

ok so

so fafr

i installed python

and silenium

i think

[amber comet]

i dont know selenium

i can may solve it with requests and bs4 tho

[calm scarab]

wait

to run the code i need

will need to have the Selenium library installed and download the Chrome WebDriver executable (chromedriver)

if thats help

and python

[amber comet]

Download python from python.org i recommend 3.11.x bc the newest is not always supported make sure to select download pip and add to PATH and than do pip install selenium in console

[calm scarab]

ill send u what i downloaded wait

[amber comet]

Than see a tutorial on how to install cromedriver or ask someone else

[calm scarab]

bruh

its version 3.12.3

[amber comet]

Its ok if selenium downloads

[calm scarab]

i downloaded selenium

[calm scarab]

ok

about this

i extracted

the zip

is that good or no

[amber comet]

What zip?

[calm scarab]

ok no there was no zips sry

[amber comet]

U are supposed to get an installer.exe or are u on linux

[calm scarab]

i downloaded something that downloads the pytrhon

like a installer

it should say first at top modify then ,repair and then unistall right

[amber comet]

Yes thats where u have to check pip and add to PATH but u seem to have those bc pip worked

[calm scarab]

how do it?

[amber comet]

Dont have to get the 3.11.x if u already have a version

Only get a new version if the old one doesn't work

[calm scarab]

what should i do now

[amber comet]

Just cancel ig

[calm scarab]

unistall the installer?

[amber comet]

Don't have to do that but u can

[calm scarab]

i unistalled the 3.12.3 bootscrap pip

[amber comet]

What does it say if u write pip in the console and hit enter

[calm scarab]

'pip' is not recognized as an internal command
or external, an executable program or batch file.

it also said that when i installed pytghon

python

[amber comet]

Oh than start the installer

In modify mode i think it would help if u can list the modes

[calm scarab]

what do i do

[amber comet]

Start the installer.exe

[calm scarab]

i redownload it?

[amber comet]

If u deleted it yes

[calm scarab]

this right?

[amber comet]

Should be the one

[calm scarab]

ok

so

it says

install now or

customize installation

[amber comet]

Customise

[calm scarab]

also below it says add admin privelages

and

add pyhon.exe to path

[amber comet]

Add to PATH

[calm scarab]

i select than then customize?

[amber comet]

and look where u can check to add pip

[amber comet]

Yes

[calm scarab]

it selected all for me

[amber comet]

That may be in the customize part

[calm scarab]

documentation, pip, tcl/tk, python test suite, py launcher

all those r selected

[amber comet]

Than its ok than just enter enter through

[calm scarab]

there is advanced options

after clicking

[amber comet]

No need just continue to installation

[calm scarab]

also its 64 bits python

[amber comet]

Thats ok ur computer isn't 32bit right?

[calm scarab]

how to check

also im on windows 11

[amber comet]

Idk use the 64 and if that ain't working than download the 32 bit

[amber comet]

The os doesn't define the cpu

[calm scarab]

so what do i do

[amber comet]

Did the installation finish?

[calm scarab]

yes

[amber comet]

Than start a cmd

[calm scarab]

on the cmd prompt bar

[amber comet]

And type pip install selenium

[calm scarab]

ITS WORKING

i think its done

[amber comet]

Ok this is as far as i could help
I have to go to sleep and i dont know selenium so i cant help with that part even if i wanted to

Bye

[hazy kite]

What's the issue

[calm scarab]

i want to run a code

[hazy kite]

What's the error?

[calm scarab]

there is no error

i need to have Selenium library installed and download the Chrome WebDriver executable (chromedriver).

and python

currently i have python installed and selenium

[subtle sun]

So what 'is working'?

[calm scarab]

so now what

[subtle sun]

What happens when you run your code?

[calm scarab]

the downloading selenium

i never ran it

wdym

ur confusing

[subtle sun]

Try running your code.

[calm scarab]

on what

thats the thing bruh

[subtle sun]

What is the thing?

[crimson shell]

you should take this course https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

[subtle sun]

You're speaking in riddles, my friend.

[crimson shell]

moreover, go over the python basics

[hazy kite]

Yeah

[calm scarab]

i want to download the applications that will help me

have a cmd bar

and run my code

[subtle sun]

What happens when you run your code?

[calm scarab]

billy

where do u expect me to run it

i have nothing to run it

no applications

[hazy kite]

The command prompt

[subtle sun]

You installed Python in this thread.

[calm scarab]

the code needs Selenium library installed and download the Chrome WebDriver executable (chromedriver).

yes

i did

[hazy kite]

If you have chrome selenium will find it and you shouldn't need to download another driver separately

[calm scarab]

what should i do

[hazy kite]

At least firefox works like this, I don't use Chrome on selenium

[crimson shell]

learn the basics.

[subtle sun]

Do you know how to run a .py file?

[calm scarab]

no

[calm scarab]

stop harrasing

im getting help

this is why i created this

[subtle sun]

Start here: https://python.swaroopch.com/first_steps.html

[calm scarab]

im gonna suicide

[subtle sun]

Don't joke like that.

[crimson shell]

giving you the resources for you to learn is harrasing? cool, good luck.

[calm scarab]

nobody is helping me

[subtle sun]

I gave you a link that'll explain how to run your code. It's only one page. Very short.

[calm scarab]

i dont want to read 10000 lines

[crimson shell]

we don't want to spoonfeed 10000 lines step by step and you not put in any effort either.

[calm scarab]

where do i acces the python prompt?

[subtle sun]

"Open the terminal in your operating system (as discussed previously in the Installation chapter) and then open the Python prompt by typing python3 and pressing [enter] key."

[calm scarab]

whats the defenition of terminal

[subtle sun]

See the previous chapter

[calm scarab]

i dont understand it

[subtle sun]

What part?

[calm scarab]

everything

im french

i dont understand english

just tell me what to do in simple words

[subtle sun]

https://rgilliotte.gitbook.io/byte-of-python

That's the French version

[calm scarab]

you'll do everything to make me read

[subtle sun]

I don't voice chat, if that's what you're asking

[calm scarab]

im asking u to make messages using that info but in smaller versions

[subtle sun]

That hardly seems fair.

[calm scarab]

but it makes me learn faster

its like me reading that page but faster

[subtle sun]

If reading isn't your thing, try https://youtu.be/XKHEtdqhLK8?feature=shared

[calm scarab]

dude

please

it wont even work

its a black screen

[crimson shell]

the video is paused.

[spare harbor]

whats he trying to do

[calm scarab]

pausing videos make a black screen?

[crimson shell]

get spoonfed.

[spare harbor]

i can see that

[calm scarab]

look i understand yall doing a excellent job trying to make me learn but im dumb

[subtle sun]

We're unsure? Since they don't know how to run Python code.

[spare harbor]

that chatgpt for you

[calm scarab]

as krrt says

i want to get spoonfed

[crimson shell]

we don't do that here.

[subtle sun]

Paste your code please. I'll see if it works.

[spare harbor]

https://chat.openai.com/

[crimson shell]

!rule chatgpt

[wicked sluice]

Rules

10. Do not copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI tools.

[crimson shell]

oh well, it's a different one.

we don't tell people to go to chatgpt here.

[spare harbor]

it might be able to speak french idk

[calm scarab]

why

[spare harbor]

fair

[calm scarab]

just let me do it my way

[subtle sun]

So I can see if it works.

[calm scarab]

why would u need it to work

i just need python prompt code

i wont be coming after u saying the code wont work

[spare harbor]

wht?!

[subtle sun]

I pasted it.

[calm scarab]

what?!

[subtle sun]

At this point, you're either trolling or want to be spoonfed. Neither of which we appreciate

[calm scarab]

how hard is this

[spare harbor]

very

[calm scarab]

i find this absurd

[spare harbor]

we 2

[crimson shell]

he literally said he wants to be spoonfed.

[crimson shell]

we find it absurd you want to be spoonfed and put in 0 effort as well.

[crimson shell]

#community-meta message
perfect candidate.

[calm scarab]

i only want to know how to download applications then clicking on the correct stuff

[subtle sun]

What does that have to do with Python?

[calm scarab]

look

[subtle sun]

Do you not want to learn Python?

[calm scarab]

the code needs

Selenium library installed and download the Chrome WebDriver executable (chromedriver)

and also python ig

[subtle sun]

Is this your code?

[calm scarab]

i have the code ready

[spare harbor]

thats scrapper prob

[calm scarab]

WHAT IS SCAPPER

[subtle sun]

Or something from somewhere else? Please share the link.

[spare harbor]

what language you speak?

[calm scarab]

i dont understand why you need the link of the site

[subtle sun]

We're not going in circles again. If you want to learn Python, read that chapter and let us know when you have the Python prompt open.

[calm scarab]

i dont want to do that

idk why u want me to do that

just tell me where do i access the Python prompt to run my fully ready code

[subtle sun]

Thank you for participating in this waste of time. You refuse our attempts to help. I don't think there's anything else we can do here.

[spare harbor]

double click on code

[subtle sun]

See chapter 1 and 2 of the link I sent.

[calm scarab]

ur making me cry

[spare harbor]

hes trolling

[calm scarab]

im not trolling

I WANT HELP

screw this
