No element found by XPATH

I am trying to retrieve the text of a specific element in a table with the following XPATH:
/html/body/form[2]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[7]/input
using
driver.maximize_window() # For maximizing window
driver.implicitly_wait(3) # gives an implicit wait for 20 seconds
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value = "/html/body/form[2]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[7]/input").text()
but I get the following error:
NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: /html/body/form[2]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[7]/input
I have also tried accessing the element by CSS selector and value, without success.
Unfortunately the link is secured so I cannot share it but here is a screenshot of the element

Instead of your absolute XPath, try relative XPath. Below is the expression:
//input[#name='AdjIncrementAmount_1']
from the screenshot, I am not really sure if the value of attribute name (after the text Amount) has one _ or two __. If the above with(one _) doesn't work, try with 2 as below:
//input[#name='AdjIncrementAmount__1']

To print the text $36,400.00 you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using css_selector:
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "td > input[name='AdjIncrementAmount__1']").get_attribute("value"))
Using xpath:
print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//td/input[#name='AdjIncrementAmount__1']").get_attribute("value"))
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

How to get the inner text from an <a> tag

I want to select the Remember Sports part of this line
Remember Sports
I can get the href but how do I get the actual text?
This is what I tried, when I tried to pass another argument into get_attribute or leave it blank then it doesn't work.
browser = webdriver.Chrome('c:\\Users\\16308\\Documents\\VSCPython\chromedriver',chrome_options=chrome_options)
url = 'https://www.allmusic.com/album/sunchokes-mw0003322304'
browser.get(url)
stages = browser.find_element_by_class_name('album-artist')
artist_link = stages.find_element_by_css_selector('a').get_attribute('href')
artist_link_text = stages.find_element_by_css_selector('a')
browser.get(artist_link)
print(artist_link_text)
Thanks for any help.

You can try to use .get_attribute("innerHTML"), if it was an input you could also use 'value' instead of innerHTML.
EDIT:
There is another very similar question: Use Python Selenium to get span text

Select your element using xpath or css then use get text method to get the text inside:
Text=stages.find_element_by_css_selector('a').text
Or
text=driver.findElement(By.className("Class Locator").getText( );

The text Remember Sports is within the following element:
<h2 class="album-artist">
<span>
Remember Sports
</span>
</h2>
Solution
To extract the text you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h2.album-artist a[href^='https://www.allmusic.com/artist']").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using XPATH and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//h2[#class='album-artist']//a[#href='https://www.allmusic.com/artist/remember-sports-mn0003731048']").text)

unique xpath for element span inside div inside button selenium python

Xpath
I'm looking for Unique Xpath for this element (Select)
in google language settings
https://myaccount.google.com/language?hl=en
already have this xpath but I need something more accurate and unique
WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,
"//*[#id='yDmH0d']/div[11]/div/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/button"))).click()

If you pay attention to the HTMLDOM :
You can construct a xpath based on attribute name only. You do not need their values nor their text.
//div[#data-is-touch-wrapper]/button[#data-id and #aria-label]
represent two matching nodes.
(//div[#data-is-touch-wrapper]/button[#data-id and #aria-label])[2]
should get the job done.

I would try to copy the X-Path from the Browser as discribed here:
Mozilla Help
My result would be: //*[#id="lang-selector"]

Is there a way to get the value within a <div> using selenium in python?

I'm new to python and webscraping so I'm not sure what the name of the value inbetween the <div>'s in an element is called. Sorry for not being able to specify.
<div class="syllable">value</div>
Is there a way to have the value inbetween the <div>'s get assigned to a string variable in python using selenium using XPath?
For example, the "value" in the element would be a string and it would print out:
value
I'm new to python and selenium so I can't figure it out.

To print out the text of the element.
elem=driver.find_element_by_class_name("syllable")
print(elem.text)
xpath:
elem=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='syllable']/text()")
print(elem)

it is called html innerText
you can retrieve this value using text in selenium , or get_attribute.
This returns the rendered text (means displayed text)
elem=driver.find_element_by_class_name("syllable")
print(elem.text)
This return the text with out checking the style attribute meaning returns value even if its not displayed in UI
elem=driver.find_element_by_class_name("syllable")
print(elem.get_attribute("textContent")
you can find elem using this text also:
// partial match
elem=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(text(),'value')])
print(elem.text)
// exact match
elem=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[text()='value')])
print(elem.text)
// exact match of the elements text if there is any child element like span it won't return the element
elem=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[.='value')])
print(elem.text)
Also note:
Other things you could read about outerHTML , innerHTML

To print the text value you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using class_name and get_attribute("textContent"):
print(driver.find_element_by_class_name("syllable").get_attribute("textContent"))
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.syllable").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='syllable']").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CLASS_NAME and get_attribute("textContent"):
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "syllable"))).get_attribute("textContent"))
Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.syllable"))).text)
Using XPATH and get_attribute():
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='syllable']"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Console Output:
value
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

How to search for multiple attributes selenium

HTML:
<button type = "submit" class = "car">
How should I search for this button in selenium python using both the attributes type and class in find_element_by_xpath()

To locate the element using both the attributes class and type you can club up them in a single locator and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector:
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.car[type='submit']")
Using xpath:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#class='car' and #type='submit']")
