Thanks for reporting this!

The driver executable was not download when pip install playwright was run. This is because the Python wheel does not support non-glibc based Linux distributions (including Alpine). Relevant issue and this article. I’m seeing this workaround in some public Dockerfiles based on Alpine, but it is probably not recommended.

We would have to rethink packaging to be able to support Alpine.

Is Alpine still out of scope?
