Selenium Python Using find elements how do i get the text value of each element

I am using Selenium Webdriver with Python. I have a search results page which displays a list of products.
I want to loop through the list and print out the text value of the h2 tag. E.g. it should print out F1 2015 (PS4) I know i should use self.driver_find_elements to get all the elements into a list. I should then use a for loop to iterate through and print out it's value. My code is not working. It prints out a list of the representation of the object. It does not print out F1 2015 (PS4)

This is my selenium python code:

 def click_search(self):
    search_field = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="twotabsearchtextbox"]')
    search_field.send_keys("F1")
    search_button = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, './/*[@id="nav-search"]/form/div[2]/div/input').click()
    searchresults_text = self.driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[@class="a-row a-spacing-small"]//a/h2')
    print searchresults_text
    for i in searchresults_text:
        print searchresults_text

The html snippet is:

<div class="a-row a-spacing-small">
<a class="a-link-normal s-access-detail-page a-text-normal"  href="http://localhost:8080/testurl/i=1437258749&sr=8-1&keywords=f1" title="F1 2015 (PS4)">
<h2 class="a-size-medium a-color-null s-inline s-access-title a-text-normal">F1 2015 (PS4)</h2>
</a>

The output to the console is:

<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x0282F290>,       
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x0282F2B0>,     
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x0282F2D0>]

Process finished with exit code 0

First elements of searchresults_text are bound to i but you never use it and try to print searchresults_text instead. Moreover to get text content you can use text property:

for el in searchresults_text:
   print el.text
