Motivation

TL;DR I don't want to copy and paste it again...

At first,

I needed to get the Chrome version for a project I was working on, which was using Undetected Chromedriver. I found the gist below.

When I used it in a variaty of projects, I decided to turn it into a module so I'll be free of copy/paste. It only have one functionality: getting the chrome version.

Then,

I decided to use it to learn more about:

• Using Poetry for packaging and dependency management.
• Using scripts for CLI.
• Versioning.
• License management.
• Documentation.
• Publishing a module on PyPI.
• Using GitHub Actions to automate the publishing process.
• ...

Finally,

Now it's kind of a playground for me to learn more...

One other thing is that it's educational: A simple module is a good practice for me to learn how to build modules and publish them on PyPI and show others how easy it is.
