Print HTML text of a selenium webelement in Python

Question

I am using Selenium webdriver in Python for a web-scraping project.

How to print the HTML text of the selenium.WebElement ?

I intend to use the BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML to extract the data of interest.

Thanks

It's not possible to get the raw HTML from a WebElement.

You can get the page source from the browser object though: browser.page_source.
