Is it possible to enter the browser through python (more precisely, the program on it)?

In general, my idea is to be able to click on a button (I use tkinter) and go to the browser

Just run the program?

import subprocess
subprocess.run(["firefox"])

Perform some action through the browser on the site and get the result?
Look into Selenium - it's a powerful tool. Type
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait # available since 2.4.0
import time

# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# go to the google home page
driver.get("http://www.google.com")

# find the element that's name attribute is q (the google search box)
inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name("q")

# type in the search
inputElement.send_keys("Cheese!")

# submit the form (although google automatically searches now without submitting)
inputElement.submit()

# the page is ajaxy so the title is originally this:
print driver.title

try:
    # we have to wait for the page to refresh, the last thing that seems to be updated is the title
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(lambda driver : driver.title.lower().startswith("cheese!"))

    # You should see "cheese! - Google Search"
    print driver.title

finally:
    driver.quit()
