Automatizing web browser form filling in Python

Question:

Hi. I am a beginner trying to learn Python, and for one of my first projects I want to write a script that will fill out a survey automatically for me. I am familiar with coding, and I have most of the code written to solve this problem. What I am struggling is to write a method that will hit button #1 in question #1, or that will push any given button. One way I've realized I can do this, is perhaps by writing a script to press tab-> up-> down-> tab-> up -> down in the order needed to answer all of the questions.

Here is an image of what the survey looks like (CSS was disable for clarity). https://i.sstatic.net/texeA.jpg

What is one way to go about writing a method to push a radio button?

[Disclaimer]: I have checked out the following questions but they were of no use to me in my current situation:

There are Python libraries and tools for automatizing browser actions. StackOverflow.com is not a place to ask for an recommendation for such a tool and thus moderators will close this question (SO is usually asking a help for particular problem, not for broad help and tutoriing requests). However here are some starting points for you

For installing Python packages please refer to official package installation tutorial.
