If the installed chromedriver version does not match your browser's version please try to empty pip's cache or disable the cache during (re-)installation.
Usage
To use chromedriver just import chromedriver_binary. This will add the executable to your PATH so it will be found. You can also get the absolute filename of the binary with chromedriver_binary.chromedriver_filename.
Example
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary # Adds chromedriver binary to path
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
Exporting chromedriver binary path
This package installs a small shell script chromedriver-path to easily set and export the PATH variable:
