How to search for an element in the same class as another (Selenium Python)

Question

If I have already searched for an element, is there any way I can find another in the same class?

ex.

<div class="day">
  <span class="day_number">4</span>
  <span class="day_item_time" data-day-total-time="day-total-time">10m</span></div>

So I had to search by the date (finding the element that had the 4), but how do I translate that to finding the 10m?

This was the result after printing out the element <selenium.webdriver.firefox.webelement.FirefoxWebElement (session="4ff20f1a-75d1-42c1-a7d0-de0c532651a6", element="1147f2d5-8832-44d4-a906-929ebaaa49e2")>

@birophilo: Not a dupe, elements of the same class are not necessarily siblings (and vice versa). — Kevin

Try This below code.It should return your expected output.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//div[@class='day']/span)[1]").text
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//div[@class='day']/span)[2]").text

Output:

4
10m

Something like this maybe:

//span[text()="4"]/following-sibling::span

You can get day-total-time using xpaths below.

Get span with day_number class and text 4, ancestor - get first parent div with class day and then get span with data-day-total-time attribute:

//span[@class='day_number' and .='4']/ancestor::div[@class='day'][1]/span[@data-day-total-time]

Get div with class day and child span with day_number class and text 4 and and then get span with data-day-total-time attribute:

//div[@class='day' and ./span[@class='day_number' and .='4']]/span[@data-day-total-time]
