This is my first time here but I have already posted this question on SO. I keep getting solutions for Windows + Java and not for Linux or python for that matter.

I am using selenium and pythonSelenium and Python to automate a file upload application for the past many hours but nothing helpful!

The HTML DOM structure for this file upload is an The HTML DOM structure for this file upload is an input tag with its type attribute value = 'file'.input tag with its type attribute value = 'file'. I know I can make use of the send_keyssend_keys. 

The problem is I am not supposed to use send_keys()send_keys() (as per the question I am trying to solve). The assumption is there are other ways of doing it.

Can anyone suggest me alternative ways to upload the file? I do get solutions for windows but not for Linux(Ubuntu). I know there are applications/tools to automate GUI components like AutoItAutoIt but there is nothing for Linux close to AutoItAutoIt.

I can say I have done my homework to find a solution. Only after not finding anything useful, I am asking this question, please help! Thanks any ways!
