Let's say i need to choose an option using radio button in web page and then click a button which would download a particular file. Is it possible to automate this process using python?
Are there some solution available in any other platform?

If I understand you correctly, I think that you are looking for something like "mechanize":

Hey, I have used mechanize earlier. But my requirement is a tool which can behave as if a real user is using keyboard and mouse on web browser pages.
