I am trying to parse through data available on a website and using selenium for the first time. After viewing multiple posts on Stack Overflow, I was able to figure out the PATH to error. Now when I run the script, command line shows(for Python27/Scripts) up and chrome opens up for a second or two (with a url = data) and then the script blows up. I am not that fluent with Python so I do not understand the error. I do not know why the Chrome browser opens a data in the url. Please provide your advice on this matter.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\Python27\Scripts\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://etrakit.friscotexas.gov/Search/permit.aspx")
The error:
