Using Python to automate web-based processing
I'm trying to use Python to automatically upload, submit, and retrieve files on websites that do sequence processing. Example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/bwrpsb/bwrpsb.cgi
Does anyone know the best way to do this using selenium or another module? i'm having some trouble getting it set up.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

A few keywords you might look at are tutorial, Flask and uWSGI, maybe starting with a simpler project to get up to speed on it. You could then set up a "route" that submits or POSTs a file, and another route to download/GET a file via some key stored in a database, say (e.g., https://cutt.ly/Qd2T4fI).
Maybe irrelevant but... Instead of writing a script to use a web GUI, wouldn't it be better to download and install the program(s) you need and do the analysis on your machine?
