Chrome is not a module, it is a class. driver = webdriver.Chrome() https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/py/selenium/webdriver/__init__.py — Satish, Feb 08 '20 at 14:09

Single "\" as strings are considered escape sequences.

To avoid this, you need to use "\\" so python will consider it as "\".

driver  = webdriver.chrome("C:\\Users\\MOSTAFA\\Desktop\\webdrivers\\chromedriver.exe")

or just use "/" instead of "\"

driver  = webdriver.chrome("C:/Users/MOSTAFA/Desktop/webdrivers/chromedriver.exe")

You were close enough. You need to replace the lowercase c with uppercase C to initiate a ChromeDriver controlled Chrome browsing context. So your effective line of code will be:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\MOSTAFA\Desktop\chromedriver.exe')
