    Why do you want to use python, and how are you doing so? Please share your current code by pasting it into the question. It is very easy to open/close browsers and navigate to URLs, etc from the terminal with no python or scripting involved. – C. Peck May 12 '21 at 07:55

yes, you can by using python selenium driver.

This is simple code to test. Also don't forget to download selenium driver. https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.python.org")
print(driver.title)
search_bar = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
search_bar.clear()
search_bar.send_keys("getting started with python")
search_bar.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
print(driver.current_url)
driver.close()

This is achievable (at least in POSIX systems like Linux or BSD) by using pipes.
