How to get text, using Selenium Python XPATH [duplicate]

Question

I try to find and get element(text), using

elem = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="t3_9kxrv6"]/div/div/div[3]/span/h2')

If I print it, I get:

<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="2c3430395624712686d8cbfe1824c18e", element="0.06192509533309787-1")>

and I want: "The problems of a dutchman in China."

You want just .text

So, use this

elem = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="t3_9kxrv6"]/div/div/div[3]/span/h2').text
