How to add an image in a text box using selenium in python?

Question

I got a text box in a website and I wish to add an image over there using selenium in python language! I have seen a stackoverflow issue where the user had solved this problem in java lang !

Referrence : How to insert picture through selenium webdriver? !

(the textbox supports images as I am able to manually paste a copied image and there is also a button to upload images)

I have tried using element.sendkeys("image location path") as shown for java programme and it seems to be not working!

element.send_keys("assets/moon.jpg")

Update the question with the text based relevant HTML of the element and your code trials. — undetected Selenium, Mar 30 '22 at 12:33

According to the top answer found here:

How to upload file using Selenium WebDriver in Java

and here:

https://www.browserstack.com/guide/file-upload-in-selenium

You should include the absolute path to the file you would like to upload.

element.send_keys("full file path here")

From there you should be able to use:

driver.find_element_by_name("upload-button").click()

The idea is to send the file path and the click on the upload button.

    from io import BytesIO
import win32clipboard
from PIL import Image

def send_to_clipboard(clip_type, data):
    win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
    win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
    win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(clip_type, data)
    win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

filepath = 'a.jpg'
image = Image.open(filepath)

I have used this instead as I was required to finish that code urgently !

and have used

element.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "V")
