When you call its install() function, it detects your Chrome version, downloads the corresponding chromedriver if needed, and makes it available for use. The package supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.\n\nIt eliminates the manual work of downloading chromedriver from the Chromium project, matching versions, and managing paths. The single runtime dependency is packaging, and it supports Python versions 3.6 through 3.11. Development is dormant but the package remains stable for its core purpose.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need automatic chromedriver installation matching your Chrome version. The dormant maintenance status is not a blocker for stable use\u2014the package does one thing well and Chrome's driver versioning hasn't fundamentally changed. Install it if your workflow involves frequent Chrome updates or cross-platform testing; skip it if you already have a chromedriver management strategy in place."},"id":"chromedriver-autoinstaller","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chromedriver-autoinstaller","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chromedriver-autoinstaller.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/chromedriver-autoinstaller/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"chromedriver-autoinstaller","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Automatically install chromedriver that supports the currently installed version of chrome."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":455434,"position":6557,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.4"}
