Python Chartify Library: chromedriver permission issues












-1















I am trying to use the Python library Chartify (Py3) though when I try to show my graph as 'png' I get an error.



# Generate example data
data = chartify.examples.example_data()

# Plot the data
ch = chartify.Chart(blank_labels=True, x_axis_type='datetime')
ch.plot.scatter(data_frame=data,x_column='date',y_column='unit_price')
ch.set_title("Scatterplot")
ch.set_subtitle("Plot two numeric values.")
ch.show('png')


The error is the following:




WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable may have wrong
permissions. Please see
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home




I already downloaded chromedriver and placed it in my path. I verified that is in my path using os.path.exists. My Chrome browser is up to date (Mac). When I run the following code, I get the same error as above.



from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(my_path + '/chromedriver')


What am I missing? I appreciate your help!
