How to locate element in script tag in selenium python

Question

Here is the the html code:

<html lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head></head>
  <body class="- view-form">
    <div id="container"> </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var sub_chart_path = "device";
      var is_dependency = false;
      var max_zoom_factor = 5;
      var image_name_base = "NHCTCC01";
    </script>
   </body>
 </html>

What I want is to locate the element inside the <script type="text/javascript">.
Can anybody tell me how it can be located?

And what do you mean "Element inside the script type = "text/javascript"? — MarthyM

Selenium locates the web elements inside the web page. There are no web elements present inside the <script type="text/javascript"> — Manu

You need to use the execute_script with Javascript executor and get the variable in return

driver.execute_script("return sub_chart_path;")

Should print: device
