Day 48 - Scraping python.org with Selenium

In this lecture we use Selenium to read the five upcoming events from python.org and organise them in a dictionary:

{0: {"time": "2026-10-29", "name": "PyConFR 2026"}, 1: {...}, ...}

Pages

• Lecture steps: the four steps, each with a screenshot and what you gain from it.
• Modernisation: what changed from the original solution and why.

What you gain in this lecture

• You read a web page's HTML structure with the browser's inspector.
• You choose locators (By.CSS_SELECTOR, By.TAG_NAME) that are short and stable.
• You turn scraped elements into clean, structured Python data.
