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.

Show HN: Use cookies from Chrome (CDP) in cURL without copy pasting
Using the tools at hand is often the best approach. That said, I've spent most of the last 13 years of my career automating browsers. For years, I used Selenium with a variety of libraries. After switching to Puppeteer/Playwright, I have zero interest in going back lol. Playwright actually has first party Python support. (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)

Toggle Line Comments in other languages?
there are cases where a file contains at least 2 programming languages . A case like this is when using the playwright-python library i.e. the code is mainly in python, but it can contain also JS code within a page.evaluate() function. When I try to comment out some lines within the page.evaluate() function, VS Code uses the "#" symbol, instead of "//". I can use multiple cursors to insert the "//"., but it's not so convenient, So I was wondering if there is a way to tell VS Code that this part of code is JS and it should use "//" for commenting out or if there is a plugin that can do this job (I didnt find one...)
