Thoughts on AsyncIO
Having async baked into Python both as a keyword and standard library has vastly opened up the number of use cases async will be used in where it is appropriate, one of my favorite libraries pyppeteer would have not existed in the easy nice way it can be used without asyncio: https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer

Do you have a tip to bypass cookie expiration when scraping a webpage?
Yes, this is scraping. You need a legit new cookie issued by the site. The solution is to automate the going to get the cookies part. The most straight forward way to do this is probably using a headless browser through something like Selenium or pyppeteer.

will requests-html library work as selenium
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.

Getting this error while installing pyppeteer
pip install -U git+https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer@dev
- 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.

Trying to find a way to automate button clicking on work program without image use
The normal Puppeteer package is JavaScript, but I do see that there's a Python port called pyppeteer. I can't vouch for it specifically, but I imagine it's similarly easy to use as the JS version.

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.
