usage

to use chromedriver just from instapy_chromedriver import binary_path.
you will get a string variable with the excecutable filepath for your operating system.

example

from selenium import webdriver
from instapy_chromedriver import binary_path # this will get you the path variable

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=binary_path)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title

developer

you can trigger a custom build with a specific version in travis.
just make a new environment variable in travis settings with the name VERSION.
the key will be your desired version like 2.44.

for the last step you have to click on settings again and hit trigger build.
this will try to get your desired version and push it to pypi.

important: don't forget to delete the environment variable later on!
