[Python] Used webdriver.ChromeService to save path as a service, but os.path.expanduser...

I'm trying to scrape a real estate website, but I'm getting an error early in the process.

Here's the problematic code:

chromedriver = webdriver.ChromeService(executable_path=r"D:/My Download/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe")
chromedriver = os.path.expanduser(chromedriver)
print('chromedriver path: {}'.format(chromedriver))
sys.path.append(chromedriver)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)


Here's the error:

TypeError
Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In\[8\], line 2
1 chromedriver = webdriver.ChromeService(executable_path=r"D:/My Download/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe") # path to the chromedriver executable
2 chromedriver = os.path.expanduser(chromedriver)
3 print('chromedriver path: {}'.format(chromedriver))
4 sys.path.append(chromedriver)

File \<frozen ntpath\>:347, in expanduser(path)

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not Service


I tried to re-write the path in several different ways including single quotes, double quotes, with r, without r, but nothing has worked.
