If you look at the compilation error message you will see PEP 8: invalid escape sequence '\c'

You can use double \ to escape string

webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\MNM\\Desktop\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe")

Or use r before the string to indicate it's string literal

webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\MNM\Desktop\drivers\chromedriver.exe")
