webdriverdownloader2 2.0.3

Description:

webdriverdownloader2 2.0.3

Python module to facilitate downloading and deploying WebDriver
binaries. The classes in this module can be used to automatically search for
and download the latest version (or a specific version) of a WebDriver binary
(will download to $HOME/webdriver or /usr/local/webdriver if run with
sudo), extract the binary from the downloaded archive and create a symlink
in either /usr/local/bin (if run with sudo) or $HOME/bin.
Note: For non-root users, the $HOME/bin directory may not be in the search
PATH. If you are unable to add this directory your search path, a workaround
is to capture the return value from the download() or download_and_install()
method (see the docstrings for those methods for more information on the return
values) and pass the path to the downloaded webdriver binary as a parameter to
the constructor for the Selenium WebDriver instance. See the documentation for
the executable_path parameter for the relevant WebDriver class for more
information.
