Get browser version using selenium webdriver

Question

How would I get the browser version being used?

>>> from selenium import webdriver

>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()

>>> print version <-- how to do this?

    Firefox 12.0

Answer 1

The capabilities property is a dictionary containing information about the browser, so if you are using Chrome then this should work:

print driver.capabilities['version']

And if you are using Firefox, the following should work:

driver.capabilities['browserVersion']
