Chrome not going headless

Question

this is my code:

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://google.com/")

Yet the browser opens instead of going headless. Some other arguments do seem to work like --start-maximized

There's advice at https://intoli.com/blog/running-selenium-with-headless-chrome/. — Bill Bell, Jul 16 '17 at 15:59
I read the blog. changed --headless to headless. still not working — Travinns, Jul 16 '17 at 16:10
You haven't mentioned what OS you're running. I see on https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome that headless won't be available on Windows until Chrome 60. Alas. — Bill Bell, Jul 16 '17 at 16:39

This is redundant but, since I've been asked to do it, https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome says that headless won't be available on Chrome for Windows until version 60.
