OpenWPM VS selenium-python-helium

I'm trying to follow the steps to install OpenWPM on ububtu 18.04, following the installation steps, and I'm running into this issue:

While I think you already found this, here's GH issue from 2015. Maybe not much help, but hopefully some.

I don't get why people still use XPaths, CSS selectors or HTML IDs to identify elements, even when they are "recorded". Please please please just use my https://github.com/mherrmann/selenium-python-helium instead. It makes so much more sense.

You can, though it might not be the best tool for this. Automation of web entry is better done with selenium, or my favorite variation helium.

Regarding automatic selectors: check out my open source library https://github.com/mherrmann/selenium-python-helium.

If this all fails you'll have to fall back on a web driver like selenium or one of its wrappers like helium.

Simplest would probably be not using Selenium directly, but a wrapper like helium. Most of its functions you'd need are listed here.

If you're talking about CSS I reckon you want to click/input things on a website inside your browser. In this case you would use a web driver which can automate a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. Something like Helium, Selenium or pyppeteer.
