I am trying to use selenium in python to create a webcrawler. The code works just fine on one of my computers, but on the other one, I'm getting an error from the last line of code:
from snownlp import SnowNLP
from pyquery import PyQuery as pq
from selenium import webdriver
from datetime import datetime, tzinfo
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.add_argument('-headless')
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, executable_path = r'path\to\geckodriver.exe')
And this is the error I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Both computers have the same versions and setup, so I'm not sure what is wrong. It works on the other computer even without the executable_path variable specified, and geckodriver is in the same relative location on both computers.
I've made sure everything is updated and tried setting marionette to false as suggested here.
Since it works just as is on one computer, I feel that it could be some setup issue in the other, but am not sure where to look.
