Unable to launch URL in edge browser (using replit platform)- Selenium Python

Question

I tried to use replit online platform for web scraping using selenium in Edge browser. replit automatically install selenium 4.1.3 but I couldn't find msedge-selenium-tools to support this version. How can I install selenium (3.141) to support msedge-selenium-tools?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank You Bibek

I don't know much about this online IDE, but I did some testing and found that it seems to be able to control the version of the referenced package via a configuration in the pyproject.toml file.

First, uninstall selenium 4.1.3 in installed Packages. When installing edge-selenium-tools package, you will find that it bundles selenium 3.141 installed with edge-selenium-tools. Second, add this line in pyproject.toml file.

selenium = "^3.141.0"

Something like this:
