Selenium drivers downloader tool with standalone CLI support.
Selenium needs a specific driver to work with each browser. Every driver has a version that works with specific browser versions, and it's really annoying reading the changelogs to check if the current driver will work with the new browser version. Plus, a lot of times a test crashes because the browser has updated and the driver is not compatible anymore. That's why Driloader exists: To make this process so much easier! Driloader autodetect the browser version (it supports Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer) and download the driver according to it's version.

from driloader import driloader
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
driver_path = driloader.chrome().binary('/path/to/chrome').get_driver()
browser = Chrome(executable_path=driver_path)
browser.get("https://www.google.com")
