How to use "not" attribute with "class name" in Xpath?

//span[@class='cname']//text()[not(parent::em[@class='multiple']) and not(normalize-space()='')]

I need to remove text() in this code. Because when I use text() it becomes an object. But if I type ".text" at the end of my python code it turns to element.

I need an element not an object. So I need to rewrite "text()" from the code without any other changes, or change it from object to element.

If you want to select the parent element of that text() you could just add /.. or /parent::* to the end of the XPath

//span[@class='cname']//text()[not(parent::em[@class='multiple']) and not(normalize-space()='')]/..

or

//span[@class='cname']//text()[not(parent::em[@class='multiple']) and not(normalize-space()='')]/parent::*
