I prefer to use python-mechanize for this kind of “automate a human clicking their way through a web flow to do some stuff” work. It’s most useful for web page scraping but it would also work on this scenario - EXCEPT if the site in question relies on JavaScript to work, as mechanize can’t handle that. Selenium sounds like a good alternative if JavaScript is required, but it is more involved to set up and more resource-intensive. I didn’t see mention of whether the author looked into using mechanize, but it would have been an interesting thing to consider.
