Python and how to get text from Selenium element WebElement object?

Question

I am trying to get the tag text content in html page by using Selenium methods, but it seems method someElement.getText() is not available in Python. Any help, please?

Here's traceback:

AttributeError: 'WebElement' object has no attribute 'getText'

Once you locate the element you can use the text property.

Example:

for element in self.driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('img'):
       print element.text
       print element.tag_name
       print element.parent
       print element.location
       print element.size
