Flask web-app input for selenium browser automation

I have a simple Flask web app for logging into my electric company dashboard. I have a page called essentials. The essentials page has a form set up, for user input.

from flask import Flask, render_template, request from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By import time

> > app = Flask(__name__)
> > 
> > 
> > 
> > @app.route('/') 
    def home():
> >     return render_template('home.html')
> > 
> > @app.route('/essentials') 
    def essentials():
> >     return render_template('essentials.html')
> > 
> > @app.route('/form', methods=['POST']) 
    def form():
> >     username = request.form.get("user_name")
> >     password = request.form.get("password") 
> > 
> > 
> > 
> > if __name__ == '__main__':
> >     app.run(debug=True)
> > 

• Then i have a selenium, web automation python script:

driver = webdriver.Safari()
driver.set_window_size(1100, 800)
driver.get('https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/customer/jersey_central_power_light.html')

username = 
password = 


driver.find_element_by_id('loginUsername').send_keys(username)
driver.find_element_by_id('loginPwd').send_keys(password)
driver.find_element_by_id('loginPwd').send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(7)

Question: How do i pass the flask form web user inputs(username, password), into the selenium variables in this case "username" and "password" that it will then use for the automation part?
