Scenario :

         Open URL: http://newtours.demoaut.com

         Enter UserName and Password

         Click on the Login button.

         Verify the Window Title

         Close the browser

        Script:

      from selenium import webdriver

      from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

      chromePath="C:\\browserdrivers\\chromedriver.exe"

      chrome_opt=Options()

      chrome_opt.add_argument("--headless")

      driver=webdriver.Chrome(chromePath,options=chrome_opt)

      driver.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com")

      driver.find_element_by_name("userName").send_keys("hello")

      driver.find_element_by_name("password").send_keys("hello")

      driver.find_element_by_name("login").click()

      print(driver.title)

      driver.close()

      Code Explanation:
      Initially, you need to set the path to the chromedriver.exe file since you are using Chrome Browser for testing.

Next, create an object of Chrome Options class and pass it to web driver instance. Since we want to open Chrome browser in headless mode, we need to pass the argument –headless to Chrome Options class.

Create an object of Chrome Driver class and pass the Chrome Options object as an argument.

Finally, we need to pass the URL - http://demo.guru99.com/ to the driver.get method.
