🐛 Bug Report

There may be more issues than just this one, but in running tests on Python 3.9 I've encountered this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builds/cemetech/7/archives/tests/test_create_file.py", line 293, in testAutofillsFilename
    file_input.send_keys(tempfile1.name)
  File "/builds/cemetech/7/.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py", line 475, in send_keys
    value = self._upload(local_file)
  File "/builds/cemetech/7/.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py", line 695, in _upload
    content = base64.encodestring(fp.getvalue())
AttributeError: module 'base64' has no attribute 'encodestring'

This appears to have been fixed in #7446, but is not present in any stable releases on pypi.

Either the 3.x series on PyPi should be marked as incompatible with Python 3.9, or #7446 should be backported and a new Python release cut.

Environment

OS: Linux
Browser: Firefox
Language Bindings version: Python 3.141.0

Hi

Thanks for the issue. We won't be releasing another version 3 as we're heading to finishing off Selenium 4. It is a drop in replacement to use Selenium 4.0.0.a5 so should work the same. There should not be any breaking changes.

Declare Python 3.9 as supported

It needs Selenium 4, the 3.x series is not compatible with Python 3.9,
see SeleniumHQ/selenium#8762

This also simplifies test matrix by including wanted test combinations
instead of excluding all the ones we want to skip in more complex
setups.
