findElement Error Python using selenium

Question

So I'm trying to download a certain link of a webpage but each time i run the code i get an AttributeError: 'Webdriver' object has no attribute 'findElement'. I'm using selenium and python. here is my code

import selenium 
from selenium import web driver

driver = web driver.Firefox()
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.get("The web site I'm trying to take link from")
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("DEV.tgz")

Can anybody help me to why I am getting this error

You need to use find_element_by_partial_link_text() here:

element = driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('DEV.tgz')

Or, alternatively, you can take find_element() with By approach:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
element = driver.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, 'DEV.tgz')
