How to get a specific text out from span class in Python (selenium)

I have the following span class:

<span class="k-pager-info k-label">1 - 25 of 93995 items</span>

and its Xpath is //*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span

I would like to get the number 93995 out.

I have tried the following:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("""//*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span""")).getText()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#47>", line 1, in <module>
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("""//*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span""")).getText()
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'findElement'

What shall I do then?

Syntax error: Use driver.find_element instead of driver.findElement

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span')
text = element.text

Refer selenium docs for locating the elements

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span')

you made a mistake it will be find_element and text only not getText()

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="registerGrid"]/div[3]/span').text
