I'm really new to python programming. I'm working on automation of a web-browser. I started with selenium, but found it to be really slow for what I need.
I'm working on a code that can Login to a webpage and fill out few text-boxes and click on few buttons. I finally achieved the 1st part. My program can finally sign to the webpage using the robobrowser.
Thank you in advance.

import re from robobrowser import RoboBrowser browser = RoboBrowser() login_url = 'https://webbroker.td.com/waw/idp/login.htm?execution=e1s1' browser.open(login_url) form = browser.get_form(id="login") form["login:AccessCard"].value = "****" form["login:Webpassword"].value = "****" browser.submit_form(form)As soon as I login to this webpage, it is asking me to answer an authentication question.
<div class="td-layout-row td-margin-top-medium"> <div class="td-layout-column td-layout-grid15"><label class="questionText" for="MFAChallengeForm:answer" id="MFAChallengeForm:question"> What is your favourite TV show?</label></div> </div> <div class="td-layout-row"> <div class="td-layout-column td-layout-grid7"><input autocomplete="off" id="MFAChallengeForm:answer" maxlength="25" name="MFAChallengeForm:answer" onkeydown="trapEnter(event,'MFAChallengeForm',id,'next')" size="25" type="password" value=""/></div> </div>How do I carry on form here? I need to enter and submit my authentication answer in order to proceed. In selenium, it would be something like this.
AQ = driver.find_element_by_id("MFAChallengeForm:answer") AQ.send_keys("******") *Click Submit*how would I do it in robobrowser/lxml/beautifulsoup? I need to submit my answer(while sill being logged in). Most example that I have seen only scrape text from one specific web page. However is it possible to log in and keep on surfing the web?
Thank you in advance.
