This script uses selenium that opens a browser and selects the input field where you need to enter login and password then simulates a click on login button.(id = email , id = pass)
As soon as the person is logged in then it searches for the input field which has content for uploading status.(name = xhpc_message)
When the input field is found it adds the text and simulates press of the enter key.

PS:

• To find name and id of input field you can use developer tools of the browser 
• You can also use other browsers but will need drivers for them. You can read selenium documentation for the same.
• Use this script for educational purpose only, You will be responsible for any action if taken by facebook or any other individual.
