Some questions about Customizing patchright？

[alexliu-liu]

1. Feasibility of Patching Playwright:
   Can I create my own patches for playwright-python using the patching mechanism from patchright-python? Specifically, should I use the patch_python_package.py script from the patchright repository to apply patches to the playwright-python source code?
2. Version Compatibility:
   Is there a version compatibility matrix between patchright and playwright-python? Do specific versions of patchright only work with certain versions of playwright-python?

1. You definitely can, although i dont necessarily recommend it. The Patch Workflow and Files are very complicated, because Playwright is very big and often changing Project. If you want to create your own patches, youll have to edit patchright_driver_patch.js (or use patchright.patch which i dont recommend). If you want to patch/change something in the Python Library/API, youll have to edit patch_python_package.py.
2. Patchright tries to use the same versions as Playwright. But there can be some Manual Updates due to bugs i missed. Npm is very strict with versioning so the patch versions (v1.xx.X) can be wrong, but the Minor and Major Version will always be correct. See NpmJS Versioning Docs
