You can directly access the element and print the text value ( unless it is hidden behind a iframe).

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By


data = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 30).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//g/path[@class='nv-line']")))
print(data.get_attribute("d"))

# This should print the value from the attribute "d"
