Any suggestion as to how one can install the new, fixed, code, to resuscitate Playwright?

Neither building from GitHub by running pip install git+https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python@main nor reverting to a prior version with pip install playwright<1.26 yields a working version of Playwright. It appears that the fix has been applied to on an unreleased npm dependency of playwright-python, and I don't know how to install that code, which contains the unreleased fix. As a result, Playwright is still bricked on Windows.

You can either continue to use 1.25 for a few days or wait for 1.26.1 which we'll publish in a few days.

Apologies.

For some reason pip install playwright==1.25.2 did not yield the correct results the first time around. It indeed works.
