selenium in python : Return the special value

Question

I want to get the number 31 in the shaded blue block here. So, I typed code.

val=driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr[8]/td[2]")
print(val)

(The xpath of the box marked 31 is /html/body/div/table/tbody/tr[8]/td[2].)

But, I get

<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="3e74d73f7dc4cd9a52b5430b7fa69678", element="0.771890890368685-1")>

What should I do to get the number 31? ^^

This page is only visible when I log in with my personal ID. I am curious to know the value in the box. when I know the xpath of the box. — JAE_RYONG, Nov 23 '18 at 16:59

You're printing the entire element. An element is a complex object with a lot of attributes and such. But you really only want the text of the element.

So use:

print(val.text)
