Scrapy select immediate children

I want to find immediate .col.group children of certain div. How can I do this?

divs = response.css(div.container)
children = divs[0].css('>.col.group') # this doesn't work

How can this be written with both css and xpath?

Thank you.

CSS doesn't have a current node concept. So you can do that with CSS. But thing is Scrapy allows you to mix CSS and XPATH. So you can mix them quite well

divs = response.css(div.container)
children = divs[0].xpath('./*[contains(@class, 'col')]') # this doesn't work
