title: Web user input form and passing its contents to python selenium
body: <p>I have one very general question and another a bit more specific. </p>
  
  <p>Let's start with the general one as it is strictly connected with the second one. </p>
  
  <p>So I'd like to create a website (internal, not available on the internet) with a form that validates user input and if it doesn't meet certain criteria- it cannot be submitted. </p>
  
  <p>Does it make sense to create this website (and form) with python django? I mean- obviously it has a lot of sense but there is something else I am trying to puzzle out here:</p>
  
  <p>Will it make possible to get user input from this website form and pass it to python selenium script? </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to figure this out as I'd like to improve ordering process with which I work. It is done with a web application provided by an external provider (all things that happen in this application are automatized with python selenium).</p>
  
  <p>For the time being I have to read order form (mostly scanned paper forms, pdfs and faxes) put data to excel and then get them to python selenium script but I would like to stop using excel (as it can be really messy). I have to use excel as an intermediary as I don't have a working OCR (so I am an OCR in this case :)) plus current order forms are very different from one another (and standardization is not an option). </p>
  
  <p>Is it even possible? Is the way I am thinking about anywhere near common sense? Maybe there is an easier method? Any ideas? Thanks for all advices and suggestions.</p>
