python - Scraping contents of multi web pages of a website using BeautifulSoup and Selenium

Question

The website I want to scrap is :

http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061

I want to get the last page number of the above the link for proceeding, which is 499 while taking the screenshot.

My code :

   from bs4 import BeautifulSoup 
   from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq
   from selenium import webdriver;import time
   from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
   from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
   from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
   from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import         DesiredCapabilities

   firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
   firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
   firefox_capabilities['binary'] = '/etc/firefox'

   driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
   url = "http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061"

   driver.get(url)
   wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
   soup=BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
   containers = soup.findAll("ul",{"class":"pages table"})
   containers[0] = soup.findAll("li")
   li_len = len(containers[0])
   for item in soup.find("ul",{"class":"pages table"}) : 
   li_text = item.select("li")[li_len].text
   print("li_text : {}
".format(li_text))
   driver.quit()

I need help to figure out the error in my code for getting the last page number. Also, I would be grateful if someone give the alternate solution for the same and suggest ways to achieve my intention.

If you want to get the last page number of the above the link for proceeding, which is 499 you can use either Selenium or Beautifulsoup as follows :

---

Selenium :

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:UtilityBrowserDriversgeckodriver.exe')
url = "http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061"
driver.get(url)
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='row pagination']//p/span[contains(.,'Reviews on Reliance Jio')]")
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[@class='pagination table']/li/ul[@class='pages table']//li[last()]/a").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
driver.quit()

Console Output :

499

Beautifulsoup :

import bs4
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq

url = "http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061"
uClient = uReq(url)
page_html = uClient.read()
uClient.close()
page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")
container = page_soup.find("ul",{"class":"pages table"})
all_li = container.findAll("li")
last_div = None
for last_div in all_li:pass
if last_div:
    content = last_div.getText()
    print(content)

Console Output :

499
