selenium output find_element_by_xpath into list

Question

When using find_element_by_xpath it will return a str of all text inside that xpath. The output returns a str but I would need to convert this into a list. Or just return "1 bed room".

selenium xpath

result = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="summary"]/following-sibling::*[1]').text

OUTPUT

2 guests
1 bedroom
1 bed
1.5 baths

Desired output

[2 guests,1 bedroom,1 bed,1.5 baths]

Split on the newline character.

Splitting by newline should give you what you want.

result = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="summary"]/following-sibling::*[1]').text
result.splitlines()

Unless there are other elements under the element your xpath returns this is the best you can do.
