Does requests rely on selenium?
The python requests module does not use Selenium, neither does BeautifulSoup. Both will run independent of a web browser. Both are pure python implementations.
I am running some crawls in order to test if the results I get deviate. For this effort I created two test suites, the first one I created with the requests and BeautifulSoup library, the other one is based on selenium. I would like to find out, if pages detect both bots in the same way. 
But I am still unsure if I am right, by assuming that requests and BeautifulSoup are independent from Selenium. 
I hope its not a dump question, but I haven't find any proper answer yet (maybe because of the wrong keywords). However, any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks in advance
I checked the requests documentation. I wrote a mail to the developer, without any answer. And of course I checked on google. I found something about scrapy vs selenium but well... are requests and BeautyfulSoup related to scrapy?
