How extract list of items from web page with selenium using python

Question

I want to extract information from some site. The information that I want to extract is name of Items in list.

Here is example:

<body>
<div class = "_4gt3b">
    <ul class="_539vh _4j13h">
        <li class="_cx1ua">item 1</li>
        <li class="_cx1ua">item 2</li>
        <li class="_cx1ua">item 3</li>
        <li class="_cx1ua">item 4</li>
        <li class="_cx1ua">item 5</li>
    </ul>
</div>

I want extract "item 1,item 2,item 3,..." also I want consider class names "_4gt3b",""_539vh _4j13h","_cx1ua" because It is key to redirect the list of Items.

I use this code:

WebElement = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("._4gt3b._539vh._cx1ua")

But return:

>>> WebElement
[]

What is problem(s)?

You need spaces: $('._4gt3b ._539vh ._cx1ua')

You can directly get the list of li by using this

elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("/li[@class='_cx1ua']")
