Instead of running `playwright install` as a shell command before or alongside your script, you import the install function and call it directly with the browser types you need, passing them as a list. This is useful when you want to programmatically ensure browser binaries are available at runtime\u2014for instance, in containerized deployments, CI/CD pipelines, or applications that dynamically provision Playwright environments.\n\nThe package supports both sync and async Playwright workflows. It depends only on playwright itself and requires Python 3.10 or later. The codebase is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Playwright and need to install browsers programmatically from Python code rather than via shell commands. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, and solves a real friction point in Playwright workflows. Install it if you're building applications or tools where you want to manage browser setup as part of your Python initialization logic."},"id":"install-playwright","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/install-playwright","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/install-playwright.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/install-playwright/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"install-playwright","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Execute `playwright install` from Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":626051,"position":5692,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
