Need help to get text inside span using XPATH and PhantomJS for python project? Anyone?

Question

Need Help! I am trying to grab "RC0402JR-070RL" from the HTML below.

Here is the HTML:

                        <td class="tr-mfgPartNumber">
                            <a itemprop="url" href="/product-detail/en/yageo/RC0402JR-070RL/311-0.0JRCT-ND/729353">
                                <span itemprop="name">RC0402JR-070RL</span>
                            </a>
                        </td>

I am able to locate the text using xpath command below. Already tested using xpather.com which point to the right text.

//table[@id='productTable']//td[contains(.,'Cut')]/preceding-sibling::td[@class='tr-mfgPartNumber']//span[@itemprop='name']

But I am unable to print it in Python using command below:

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//table[@id='productTable']//td[contains(.,'Cut')]/preceding-sibling::td[@class='tr-mfgPartNumber']//span").text

I can print other span texts in Python but not this one.

Any idea? Here is my Pyhthon code:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='C:/Phantom/phantomjs-2.1.1-windows/bin/phantomjs.exe')
browser.set_window_size(1124, 850)
url = "https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=RC0402JR-070RL"


browser.find_element_by_xpath("//table[@id='productTable']//td[contains(.,'Cut')]/preceding-sibling::td[@class='tr-mfgPartNumber']//span").text

Here is the Error Message I get:

Imports need.

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

Wait for the element present.

xpath = "//table[@id='productTable']//td[contains(.,'Cut')]/preceding-sibling::td[@class='tr-mfgPartNumber']//span"
# wait for the element to present max of 30 seconds
WebDriverWait(browser, 30).EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath))
# now get the text
print(browser.find_element_by_xpath(xpath).text)
