Selenium / Python - Selecting an element id by a stored variable

Issue: Unable to select an element id object using a stored variable.

Situation: I need to open a page, make a selection, store that selection in a variable card_id and next, find the element on the last page with the id pick_id and the stored variable, and click it. Hope I am being clear on this situation. If not, please just ask. I have tried to find the Selenium API documentation to handle this, nope.

Test Code:

def test_00_validation_test(self):
        driver = self.driver
        driver.get(self.base_url)
        driver.find_element_by_id("first_page").click()
        driver.find_element_by_id("make_pick").click()
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//input[@name='64'])[2]").click()
        driver.find_element_by_id("save_pick").click()
        self.assertEqual("Pick Was Saved", self.close_alert_and_get_its_text())
        card_id = driver.find_element_by_id("testingNum").get_attribute("value")
        driver.find_element_by_id("confirm_pick_page").click()
        driver.find_element_by_id("pick_id", card_id).click()

Ok from your explanation i think you want to go the element pick_id then drill down and look for card_id and click on it. This could be done as:

card_id = driver.find_element_by_id("testingNum").get_attribute("value")
pick_id = driver.find_element_by_id("pick_id")
pick_id.find_element_by_id(card_id).click()

You can always find an element and then drill down that element using find_element_by.
