Returning variables in Python Selenium from Javascript and updating them with selenium

Question

I am currently using Walmart's job site and I'm trying to log in using Selenium with python. So far I am using the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchWindowException
from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
import argparse
import time
import traceback
import sys

while True:
        try:

            func_name = driver.find_element_by_id('extension_4').get_attribute('onkeyup')
            func_name = func_name[func_name.index(':')+1:]
            num = driver.execute_script('return ' + func_name)

            #js_functions.append(num)

            print repr(num)

        except NoSuchElementException: 
            exc_info = sys.exc_info()
            traceback.print_exc()

        except NoSuchWindowException:  # No Need to Continue if User closes Window
            break;

        try:
            driver.execute_script('return username(arguments[0])', '[email protected]')
        except WebDriverException:
            exc_info = sys.exc_info()
            traceback.print_exc()
        
        time.sleep(2)

When I print num from this line:

 num = driver.execute_script('return ' + func_name).

It prints the username and password. I then try to update the function given (for example username) with the following line:

driver.execute_script('return username(arguments[0])', '[email protected]')

it complains that there is no such function what am I doing wrong? I've been stuck on this for a few weeks now any guidance or solutions will really help me.

Unless you have a particular reason to use JS, selenium can do this for you:

driver.find_element_by_id('username').send_keys(username_variable)
driver.find_element_by_id('password').send_keys(password_variable)
driver.find_element_by_id('event-submit').click()

Did you have some other issue?

This doesn't work. The reason why I mentioned JS is because it looks like those form variables are in javascript when I look at the source code.
