Hey sorry I just saw this comment (GitHub doesn't notify you when someone comments on your gists). Were you able to solve your problem? If you did, let me know how so that others facing the same problem could solve it as well.
Thanks! @Camps94

Hello Syed,
Yes, I solved easily using Selenium. Specifically; from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys.
I declare a variable type DATE. And then i do the following:
date = single_date.strftime("%d-%m-%Y") elem = driver.find_element_by_name(The whole datpicker until foo included) elem.clear() elem.send_keys(date) elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

And that's it! if its not cleared let me know!
