Answer 1

Update your chromedriver to 2.24 version from the given url:

http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.24/

That worked for me.

Answer 2

Setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 before executing my script works for me. See this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1552#c43

In Python:

import os
os.environ["LANG"] = "en_US.UTF-8"

Answer 3

To install the chromedriver on windows, download and unzip the chromedriver_win32.zip and add the path to the folder containing the chromedriver.exe in the environment variables setting [System properties - Advanced system settings - Environment variables].
