How to trigger an event using pyquery python

Question

I'm trying to automate a headless web browser using python and packages like pyquery, beautiful soup, requests, mechanize.

But so far I haven't found a right way to trigger a click event on a button. For example, to fill an online form, I'm able to insert values in the text fields, but not able to click on the Submit/Send button.

According to the docs, pyquery isn't a library to interact with JS code (at least not yet). It is used to parse HTML Docs like beautiful soup.

As Nehal suggested, selenium is your best bet.

Selenium is for UI testing. I am developing an engine that dont need to invoke a browser. All code based. – Shekhar Khandelwal Sep 04 '16 at 10:06
