get opened page url in opera in python in python

To get the current url of the active tab in Opera browser using Python, you can use the pyautogui library to simulate keypress of Ctrl+L and Ctrl+C to copy the url to clipboard, and then retrieve the clipboard contents using win32clipboard library.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
import pyautogui
import time
import win32clipboard

# move mouse to top-left corner to avoid any interference
pyautogui.moveTo(0, 0)

# simulate keypress to focus address bar
pyautogui.hotkey("ctrl", "l")

# wait for address bar to be focused
time.sleep(0.5)

# simulate keypress to copy url to clipboard
pyautogui.hotkey("ctrl", "c")

# retrieve clipboard contents
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
url = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData()
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

print(url)
481 chars
23 lines

Note: This code will only work on Windows operating system, as it uses win32clipboard library which is specific to Windows.
