Soupault: A static website management tool
I'm using soupault right now to make a simple company wiki (under a dozen pages). I like how it's HTML-first and easily customizable, compared to other static site generators that come with too many bells and whistles. Although now I have to make my own image compression script...
Also, fun fact: soupault is written in OCaml, which apparently has a really nice library for HTML manipulation: https://github.com/aantron/lambdasoup

Soupault (soup-oh) is a tool that helps you create and manage static websites
It's used for sorting "widgets" (page processing steps) according to dependency lists that users can specify in the config (like `after = ["foo", "bar"]`).
Other than that, one thing I really like about OCaml is that the compiler team and most library maintainers are considerate towards downstream users with respect to compatibility.
The Lua interpreter [3] that soupault uses for its plugin API is a revived 20 year old research project. It only needed minor modifications to build with recent compiler versions.

Last I checked, pyppeteer wasn't a thing anymore, and I haven't tried Playwright but if it has a headless mode, thats what you want so you don't have a browser open.
- What have you automated with python?
- Note, the first time you ever run the render() method, it will download Chromium into your home directory (e.g. ~/.pyppeteer/). This only happens once.

PyAutoGUI with CSS Selector
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.

The State of Web Scraping in 2021
In my own experience puppeteer is much better/capable than selenium but the problem is that puppeteer requires nodejs. its python-wrapper https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer was not as good as selenium when you like to use python.
Pyppetteer is feature complete and worth noting: https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer

Scraping data from interative web charts python
For complex pages I usually use Puppeteer (from Google). A Python port is here: https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer but that's not widely used as the official JavaScript Version.
