How to select a local file for a file upload with python and selenium [duplicate]

Question

I have been writing the script to fill a form using Selenium with Python. I would like to attach an image file to it. So when I reach the button to upload the file and click it, I no longer can use Selenium to find the element.

I need to figure out how to enter the path to the image file, select it and upload it.

Please look at the image below to get a clear picture of what I am trying to do and let me know the solution.

You need to use AutoIT with selenium refer this guru99.com/use-autoit-selenium.html — Ankur Singh

You can even try directly with send_keys function on Browse button that us used to select file. It doesn't involves any windows popup handling.

Example:

import os


driver.find_element_by_id("#button_id").send_keys(os.getcwd() + "/image.png")
