Zetcode has just released a selenium tutorial here: http://zetcode.com/python/selenium/
I haven't reviewed it, so just an FYI

I used PhantomJS today and when I ran the script for the first time a Selenium´s message appeared and it said that PhantomJS is deprecated. Quick googling and it turned out that it´s no longer in development. Lack of contributors to the project. Very sad. Now we have to use chromedriver. I prefer to avoid Google in every way.

found this, haven't investigated: https://www.slant.co/options/2764/altern...ternatives

Hm! I see that Puppeteer is a Node library provided by Google to control Chrome.
So, Google again.

They use a Deprecated method with opts.headless = True.
This will give a warning when use it.

opts = Options()
opts.headless = True

Otherwise it look okay,and fine that they show example with pytest and Flask.

To show a example how option should be used now.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time

#--| Setup
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'chromedriver', options=options)
#--| Parse or automation
browser.get('https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XOSL/XXL/quote.html')
time.sleep(1)
soup = BeautifulSoup(browser.page_source, 'lxml')
price_sales = soup.select('li:nth-child(9) > div > div.dp-value.ng-binding')
print(price_sales[0].text.strip())

It's couple of years now that PhantomJS has been out of the picture,since Chrome and Firefox makes own driver for this now.
