How to set options for chromium Edge() in Selenium?

I have been following tutorials, and I came up on Firefox, and using Options(), I could set headless mode while defining browser (browser = Firefox(options=opts)), but for Firefox only. I downloaded the driver for the new chromium Edge, but I cannot seem to set the options= keyword in Edge(). Can anyone tell me how do I set the options while defining the browser?

from selenium.webdriver import Edge
from selenium.webdriver.edge.options import Options

opts = Options()
opts.headless = True
browser = Edge(options=opts)
#              ^^^^^

It seems there is no options keyword, and I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".tutorial.py", line 6, in <module>
    browser = Edge(options=opts)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'options'

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer

For Edge Chromium you need to install msedge-selenium-tools package for python and then you can initialize the driver

from msedge.selenium_tools import EdgeOptions

options = EdgeOptions()
options.use_chromium = True

driver = Edge(options)
