TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method python

Question

Why does:

k = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("#mw-content-text > div > p:nth-child(3) > b:nth-child(1)")[0:6]

Work

But

number 6 (aka titles.text) of wiki gives

k = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("#mw-content-text > div > p:nth-child(3) > b:nth-child(1)")[0:titles.text]

Error:

TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method

How do I get around this? Why is it doing this

the code

cd = webdriver.chrome()
cd.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6')
titles = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("#mw-content-text > div > p:nth-child(3) > b:nth-child(1)")
for title in titles:
    print(title.text)

Changes it to int(titles.text) gives print of all elements

Answer 1

According to the comments, it looks like that the value of titles.text is, first of all, a string (and hence cannot be used as a slice index) and is equal to 1 of 6 which means that you would not be able to directly pass it to int() for conversion.

If you want to extract that 6 from the string, you first can split the string by of and then get the last element. Then, you would need to convert it to an integer:

max_pages = int(titles.text.split(" of ")[-1])

k = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("#mw-content-text > div > p:nth-child(3) > b:nth-child(1)")[:max_pages]
