xkcd comic downloader

This is a personal python project I developed after learning a little bit of web scraping. In few words: it goes to xkcd.com, randomizes the comic shown, saves it and displays it on desktop. Kinda proud of it. :)

Dependencies required

In this case, the dependencies used are saved in the requirements.txt file within this repo, so you can install them using pip:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import requests
import io
from PIL import Image
import time
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import date

Usage

Within the code you can find two specific variables which are:

PATH = "/home/felipe/Desktop/software/browser/chromedriver_linux64/chromedriver"

download_path = "/home/felipe/Desktop/various/various_pics/daily_xkcd/"

with open("/home/felipe/Desktop/personal/personal_software/python/xkcd_getter/log.txt","a") as f:

In these you'll have to configure the path to the chrome webdriver, the path to the folder were you'll store the comic and the path to the log.txt file for logging
