Read browser image and click without using selenium?

I was just trying to figure out how to get python to see the browser window and read the image there(I don't want to take a snapshot, if possible) process it and then click the relevant button on screen.
As a project I want to avoid selenium. I can't seem to find the correct library or any tutorials for this. Can someone tell me the library and possibly a tutorial?
I am on Ubuntu.
Thanks

Automate filling HTML pop up forms in python

I am looking for resources or guide so that I could build a Python code to fill my ~2k online forms automatically. Sorry I dont have any script to share as many resources in which python code is written to go to form URL and fill it. Since in my case it is a pop up form it doesnt really have a real URL.
Please be kind, I am new to Python.
Is there a way to do something to imitate clicks on browser window and fill in new values in the form ?

You can imitate clicks in the browser using selenium https://realpython.com/modern-web-automation-with-python-and-selenium/. There are plenty of tutorials how to do that.
Other tools would be:

If you don't want to write code - an
extension in the browser: https://www.seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/

wxpython to display text ,images,audio ,video on the same ctrl

I wender if there is standard or custom control on wxpython to display text and other media to gather ,i mean something similar to web browser.
i tried webview but it is not support html5 elements of media.

The simple answer is "No". wxPython does not have such a control. I do think webview will get you the closest to what you want. For video, you will have to use wx.Media:
http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.media.MediaCtrl-class.html
If you really need to have an all-in-one control, then you'll have to create your own custom widget or look at a different UI toolkit to see if they have the widget you need.

Uploading a file into a popup window with selenium

I have searched the forums and found some information regarding this, but not quite with the problem I'm facing. I am automating the uploading of files to a website. Unfortunately, the website uses a counter for the id of the "browse" button. Using Selenium and Firebug, I was able to find another way to identify the button. I have exported the script into python to add variables so I can automate. However, the browse button opens a windows popup to select the file. The script is started out like this...
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#type=\"file\"]").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").send_keys("path\\file")
driver.find_element_by_id("upload_button").click()
In this, the upload button is clicked, the popup appears, and it sits there mocking me. I tried using the xpath in place of the id, but that didn't work. I tried the following, too...
driver.findElement(By.id()).send_keys("path\\file")
and tried this...
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_*").send_keys("path\\file")
I cant seem to get the window to respond, other than it's mocking glare. Any help to squelch this would be very appreciated.

It can´t be done. One workaround is to get the development team to modify the AUT for you. Add a javascipt function into the page that will allow you to pass the filename to the handler without having to click the browse button.
If you can´t do that, I would suggest that you look into Sikuli that will allow you to interact with the windows prompt using pattern recognition (screenshots) of what you want to interact with.

pygtk TextView and WebKit.WebView synchronized scrolling

I've got a text view and a web view, each inside a scrolled window of their own and I'm trying to achieve synchronized scrolling between the two but I can't seem to get it to work.
The web view is basically taking the text from the text view and rendering it as marked up HTML via webview.load_html_string(). I think the problem could be the delay in loading the HTML as every time the web view is refreshed it is scrolled back to the very start.
Right now I call a function every time the content of the text view is changed and then modify the vadjustment.value of the scrolled window containing the web view.
But this doesn't work. Is it because of the delay? I can't think of any way to solve this issue.

why do you want sync those scrollbars? You can achieve this by using the same Gtk.Adjustment (number of pages sets to 0).
I haven't use much of webkit but it essentialy a widget. so maybe a workaround would be disconnect a signal "value-changed" from Gtk.Adjustment until "load-status" signal from WebKitView reached Webkit.LoadStatus.FINISHED (if that's the correct syntax).
If that doesn't work, maybe you use WebKitView.move_cursor () (if i remember the function properly) based on Gtk.Adjustment on your text view (we use 2 adjustments this time)
