The python example in the readme doesn't work. Detailed debug:

So I installed my version using "pip install imgdl" and it didn't work. I proceeded to install a fork of this repo [1] with "python setup.py install", and it asked me to install bs4 as well as place a copy of the chromedriver executable in the folder and then it installed. Rerunning the readme test worked. I don't know whether or not it was the fork'ed version or the different installation method that changed it, but it ended up working. I suspect it is the later.

I installed it and I confirm not working !

It works fine in a Colab notebook here.

For a recap of what happened:

• I have discovered this tool thanks to the following fork: https://github.com/alcinos/imagedownloader
• Because of this issue, I thought the original tool would not work
• So, I have tried the fork (using pip install git+https://github.com/alcinos/imagedownloader.git) and it worked fine.
• Out of curiosity, I have tried the original repository (using pip install imgdl) and it works too.
• Finally, here I am telling people who stumble on this issue to try the original tool nonetheless.

For reference, I am talking about version 1.1.0 released in 2018: https://pypi.org/project/imgdl/#history

Let try with imdl version 1.0.0 pip install imgdl==1.1.0

I have got to admit that your tool is much more efficient than imgdl.
