it needs a version of the selenium package installed that isn't the latest.
selenium 3.141.0 works.
it's one of the latest in the version 3 selenium https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/releases?page=3
and it can be installed with pip install
Now two possible errors you might get running python upload.py --video blah.mp4
one if you haven't installed the selenium package, and one if it's a later version of it that you installed
if haven't installed selenium
