In Selenium with Python, the method for scrolling a web page gradually is by using the "execute_script" method and passing a JavaScript code to simulate scrolling. This can be done in the following way:

from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Example code to scroll down the page gradually
for i in range(0,10):
    # Scroll down the page by 500 pixels
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0, 500);")
    sleep(2)

In this example, we use a for loop to gradually scroll down the page by 500 pixels every 2 seconds. The "execute_script" method is used to run a JavaScript code that simulates scrolling. The "window.scrollBy" method is used to scroll down the page by a given number of pixels.
