fake_useragent package can randomly generate user agents:
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ua = UserAgent()
user_agent = ua.random
Sometimes generated user agents have outdated browser versions and some websites don‘t accept them. Is there any way to generate user agents only with the latest browser versions?

You could do the following:
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
import random
import re
def grp(pat, txt):
r = re.search(pat, txt)
return r.group(0) if r else '&'
ua = UserAgent()
browsers = {
'chrome': r'Chrome/[^ ]+',
'safari': r'AppleWebKit/[^ ]+',
'opera': r'Operas.+$',
'firefox': r'Firefox/.+$',
'internetexplorer': r'Trident/[^;]+',
}
for k, v in browsers.items():
print(sorted(ua.data_browsers[k], key=lambda a: grp(v, a))[-1])
The output of the script is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.75.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.3 Safari/7046A194A

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible, MSIE 11, Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Please note that the grp function was blatantly stolen from this answer
If you instead are only looking for a single browser, like you asked, this would choose randomly while honoring the probabilities as lined out in the project's readme
browser = random.choice(ua.data_randomize)
print(sorted(ua.data_browsers[browser], key=lambda a: grp(browsers[browser], a))[-1])

You asked "Is there any way to generate user agents only with the latest browser versions?". Of course this leads to the latest browser version for each respective browser. I hope this makes it clear why there is no way that multiple browser versions are the latest version, because only one single version can be the latest version. Maybe you should rephrase your question, if you want to know something different.

Jan 2 at 16:17
I thought it should be more. You can run for example chrome, safari and firefox on windows, mac and linux and you get 9 user agents at least. But It looks like fake_useragent module has a limited amount of user agents and the most of them have outdated browser versions.
