``webdriverdownloader``
=======================

Python module to facilitate downloading and deploying `WebDriver <https://www.w3.org/TR/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.
