Trying to load chrome webdriver with extension installed,

I'm trying to load my chrome webdriver with extension installed(following the steps mentioned in 'How to load extension within chrome driver in selenium with python') but unable to find the extension installed can you please help me on this, the code I'm trying is.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('C:/Users/john/Desktop/john/v1.10.0.0.crx')
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')

It just launches and opens the chrome webdriver with google page, I'm trying to open with extension installed is this possible using selenium, can anyone help

I can provide you the code written with java, which is working fine

File file = new File("path_to_your_extension");

String path = file.getAbsolutePath();

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addExtensions(new File(path))

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")

Try calling 

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

instead of just 

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
