hey so im trying to embed Python Selenium in C++ , but i managed it to just open the browser and get a item. How can i succesfully open the browser and search HELLO inside the google searchbar?

I think you can make a .dll form .py file and pass it while compiling your c++ code.
You can use pyinstaller for converting the .py files into executable with all required packages into .dll format.
Step 1. pip install pyinstaller,
step 2. new python file let's name it code.py .
step 3. Write some lines of code i.e print("Hello World")
step 4. Open Command Prompt in the same location and write pyinstaller code.py hit enter. Last Step see in the same location two folders name build, dist will be created. inside dist folder there is folder code and inside that folder there is an exe file code.exe along with required .dll files.
