python selenium cant iterate through elements

Trying to iterate though a list of elements by the index of a class. Each attempt the index doesnt increase. Adding quotes around %s produces an invalid syntax error. 

 lengeItem = len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@class="baobab"]'))
 i=1
 for i in range(lengeItem):
        Domaino = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[@class='baobab']['%s']/p/a" % i).text
        print (Domaino)


        print (Domaino)

Answer: find_element_by_xpath("//td[@class='baobab'][%s]/p/a" % i).text

If i is 1, then %s is '1'. Since you are trying index using string td[@class='baobab']['1'] which throws error. It should be td[@class='baobab'][1]

i is an integer, you need to use %d, not %s and don't wrap it in quotes, this should work: [%d] 

 els = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@class="baobab"]')
 for i, el in enumerate(els):
        print driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[@class='baobab'][%d]/p/a" % (i + 1)).text
