Accessing a webelement within a list of webelement in Selenium using Pything

I have the following HTML

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
        <body>
            <div class="w-30-ns W-100 pp">
                <h1>My First Heading</h1>
            </div>
             <div class="w-30-ns W-100 pp">
                <h1>My Second Heading</h1>
            </div>
             <div class="w-30-ns W-100 pp">
                <h1>My Third Heading</h1>
            </div>       
        </body>
    </html>

I would like to iterate thru all "class pp" webelements and find "h1" classes. This is of course a simplified version of what I am trying to do. The pp classes have MANY more children elements that I need to find and look at. Creating a list up-front of all the "pp" web-elements would be great.

The code I have been trying is:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement

url2 = 'C:\\Users\\ed821\\Downloads\\TEST2.html'

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(url2)

titles = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("pp")

for title in titles:
    heading = title.find_element_by_class_name("h1")  # << NoSuchElementException
    print("Title is:" + heading.text)

When I get to the "heading =" line, there is "NoSuchElementException".

Running in VSCode on Windows 10.

You can try this :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement

url2 = 'C:\\Users\\ed821\\Downloads\\TEST2.html'

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(url2)

titles = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("pp")

for title in titles:
    heading = title.find_element_by_tag_name("h1") 
    print("Title is:" + heading.text)

You are trying to search h1 by class name but h1 is tag name!

You can learn more about find_element_by_tag_name from here

And you can learn more about other find_element_by_<> functions from official documentation.
