How to use Selenium and PhantomJS to click and upload a file on a webpage from Python?
I'm trying to click the [Choose File] option and upload a specific file under the [Query] section of this page from Python. I know that you can use Selenium with PhantomJS to dynamically load webpages and have "phantom" browser sessions.
Can anyone describe the process necessary to do this? If possible, to direct me to any code that can guide me through this process?
My ultimate goal is to get upload file and submit a job on this website.

I've inspected the HTML of the [Choose File] button and I found the source code that directs this action:

python html selenium-webdriver upload phantomjs
