The ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium' error indicates that Python cannot find the Selenium module in your current environment. To fix this issue, you can follow these steps

1. Install Selenium

Open your terminal or command prompt.

Run the following command to install Selenium using pip:

pip install selenium

Make sure you are running this command in the same environment where your Python script is intended to run.

2. Check Python Version

Ensure that you are using the correct Python version and that you are installing Selenium for that specific version. You can check your Python version by running:

python --version

Ensure that the pip command corresponds to the version of Python you are using.

3. Check Virtual Environment (if applicable)

If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated. Install Selenium after activating the virtual environment.

# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
.\venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

# Install Selenium
pip install selenium

4. Check Project Interpreter in IDE

If you are using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as PyCharm, make sure that the project interpreter is correctly set to the Python environment where Selenium is installed. You can check and set the interpreter in the IDE settings.

5. Recreate Virtual Environment (if applicable)

If you are still facing issues, you may consider recreating the virtual environment. Deactivate the current virtual environment, delete the existing one, and create a new virtual environment. Activate the new virtual environment and install Selenium.

6. Check System PATH

Ensure that the directory containing the Python executable and scripts is included in your system's PATH environment variable. This allows the Python interpreter to be found when executing commands.

7. Check for Typos

Double-check your code for any typos or mistakes in the import statement. Ensure that you are using the correct casing and spelling for the module name.

After following these steps, try running your Python script again. The ModuleNotFoundError should be resolved if Selenium is successfully installed in your Python environment. If the issue persists, there might be an issue with your Python environment or project configuration that requires further investigation.

In Selenium, you can select text from an element using various methods depending on the type of element and the browser you are using. Below are some common approaches:

Using getText() method:

The getText() method is used to get the visible text of an element. It returns the text as a single string.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_id("element-id")
text = element.getText()
print(text)

Using find_elements() and get_attribute():

If you need to select a specific piece of text within an element, you can use the find_elements() method to find all the elements that match a certain condition and then use get_attribute('innerText') to get the text content of those elements.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='some-class']//p")
for element in elements:
    text = element.get_attribute('innerText')
    print(text)

Using execute_script():

You can also use JavaScript to select text. The execute_script() method allows you to run JavaScript code in the context of the current page.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

text = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].innerText;", driver.find_element_by_id("element-id"))
print(text)

Using actions module:

If you need to interact with the text, for example, to click on a specific word or phrase, you can use the actions module.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_id("element-id")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()
actions.click(element).perform()

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com" and "element-id" with the actual URL and element ID or selector you want to interact with. Also, ensure that the browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver for Google Chrome) is installed and properly configured in your environment.

Rotary proxies are proxies that cyclically change their real IP address. This is used to make it harder to track their location. The port usually changes as well. How this happens depends on the software used on the proxy server.

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.

Paid proxies are definitely better and more reliable than free ones. How do you test them? You can simply use the Hidemy Name service. It also shows which protocols the service uses and how reliable the connection is.
