How to properly stop phantomjs execution

Question

I initiated and close phantomjs in Python with the following

from selenium import webdriver    
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get(url)
h         


        

Answer 1

The .close() method is not guaranteed to release all resources associated with a driver instance. Note that these resources include, but may not be limited to, the driver executable (PhantomJS, in this case). The .quit() method is designed to free all resources of a driver, including exiting the executable process.
