###Project description 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.
