There are times that I may have dozens of tabs open at one time. How would I go about pulling all open tabs, windows, and pages into a python script?

I am looking to run 3 scripts in a selenium browser.
I'd like each of them to run in their specific tab, or assign one tab only for one script
I tried
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[3])
but it always changes the tab for that script everytime I launch it
Thank you for the help
I'm using chrome, and I've been trying to find a way to count open windows with python, I know it can be done with selenium but it only counts the open windows in the webdriver, is there any way to do it in "normal" chrome? What I need is the number of the total opened windows.
In Pycharm, I have multiple Terminal processes opened. How can I close all of them at once without having to close each one of them manually?
PyCharm version 2020.1.2
Windows 10
All of the terminal tabs may be closed by right-clicking one of the tabs, and then selecting Close All.
I am working with Python 3.6.6 and need to display several pdf-files in the browser.
I tried several pdf files and got 2 different results.
For example:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/pdf_reference_archives/PDFReference.pdf')
opens a new tab in my browser and displays the file.
Other files are downloaded immediatelly, instead of displaying in a new tab in the browser.
I want to know the reason for, why some files are downloaded automatically and others are displayed in the browser, where I can manually download the file.
I need a solution where I can force the file to open in the browser.
I already read through this question but it seems it is more restricted to HTML.
One last thing I noticed. If I try to download any pdf file from the internet it opens the file in a new tab. The problem with downloading them only appears with files which are saved on a webserver within my company.
Is this just a missing configuration on the webserver?
If yes, is it anyhow possible to get around this configuration using python?
It's the web-browser's decision whether to put the file in the downloads directory (and not display it) or whether to cache the file and open it in-browser. As such, do not use the web-browser installed on the end-user's system.
Instead, have your program include its own web-browser. Open the pdf (and everything else your program displays) in your program's web-browser. That way, you can always modify your program's web-browser to view files in-browser instead of saving to the downloads directory.
Several free open-source web-browsers are available on the market. Just use one of them.
With Selenium Webdriver, I have to upload some files on a website but since the pop-up window for browsing the file location is handled by the operating system and not the browser, I cannot automate that part with Selenium.
So I want to know which framework or module I need to use to work with system windows of Windows OS. Can tkInter or wxPython be used for this?
My script will be used on Windows 7, 8 & 10.
Actually, you can upload files without interacting with upload prompt pop-ups.
To be able to handle file upload with selenium you should send path to file to appropriate input field without clicking on "Upload" button. Try following:
path_to_file = 'C:\\Files\\path\\to\\file' # use your specific path instead
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="file"]').send_keys(path_to_file)
P.S. Let me know if this code doesn't work as you expect
You can call autoit3 framework from Python even to open the File Open dialog and fill in the values and press OK or do whatever with the windows. Autoit3 has a dll that can be loaded and called using ctypes. That's what I did in one or 2 projects.
If I understand your question correctly, wxpython or tk won't help you. They can be used to make the windowed UI, not to control other programs.
