My project is basically a unification of python and pharo by allowing pharo to use python libraries. That means that one would have to have knowledge of python and the python library used.

Its a simple socket bridge with which pharo can communicate with python and say "hey python do this for me and return me the result".

This problem seems to me to be more suitable for BeautifulSoup

which has been ported to Pharo

but it seems to no longer be in SmalltalkHub I can only find it here

As far as I know:

Pharo has event recorder that helps automate within image�� however the bigger problem here is interaction with the environment, which is a big problem cross-platform.

This is all assuming that you _must_ click on it and you can't just retrieve-html/parse/extract/download/repeat which is doable in Pharo with Zinc and some non-validating parser.

If you don't find anything, you can take a look at PyAutoGUI https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (or xdotool on linux).

I believe Kilon worked on some python bindings from Pharo? It would be interesting to ask him what was that exactly�� maybe it could be connected to this lib.

Suppose I have a web page with 50 small photos; when I click on a photo, appears a window where I can further click on a link to open a full profile of the person on a photo. I need to open a full profile for every person in that page, each in a separate browser tab. How can I automate this clicking, so that I would not need to click at every link manually? Does Pharo have tools for such tasks?
