How to Set Up Selenium Python Webdriver for Testing

Posted on January 8, 2019

Selenium Python bindings provide a simple and intuitive API for creating acceptance tests with Selenium WebDriver. These bindings can be used to access various web drivers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Remote, among others. In this post, we will guide you through the steps of setting up Selenium Python Webdriver for testing on Windows.

Step 1: Install Python 3.10

The first step is to download and install Python 3.10 from the official website. If you are using a 32-bit Windows system, download and install the “Python 3.10.0 Windows x86 MSI Installer.” For 64-bit Windows, download and install the “Python 3.10.0 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer.”

Step 2: Install Selenium Python Bindings

Once Python is installed, open a command prompt and run the following command to install or upgrade Selenium:

C:\Python34\Scripts\pip.exe install -U selenium

Alternatively, you can download the source distribution selenium-2.41.tar.gz, unarchive it, and run the command:

python setup.py install

Step 3: Test Installation

To test if Python and Selenium are installed correctly, launch the Python Shell and enter the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')

Step 3: Run your script

If everything is set up correctly, the above code will launch the Google homepage.
