paste_code = '//*[@id="ckeditor-4-output"]/div/div[6]/div[1]/div/div'
element = w.find_element_by_xpath(switch_to_html).click()
time.sleep(2)
# element = w.find_element_by_xpath(paste_code).send_keys("Hi")

In version v23 Calling 2nd time the sendKeys in a WebElement has not efect.

WebElement webField = $(TextFieldElement.class).waitForFirst();
webField.sendKeys("Vaadiner");
webField.sendKeys("TEST");

The field do not change the value. must be "TEST" but continue with "Vaadiner". So if you do so:

webField.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "a");
webField.sendKeys(Keys.DELETE);

Has not effect.

Try to do some thing as :

List<WebElement> list  =getDriver().findElements(By.className("CodeMirror-lines"));
for (final WebElement webElement : list) 
     if (webElement instanceof TextFieldElement)
        ((TextFieldElement) webElement).clear();

In Python Selenium the method to send a text to a web element is send_keys.
sendKeys is a Java Selenium method.
So instead of

clickElement.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")
clickElement.sendKeys(Keys.DELETE)

use

clickElement.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "a")
clickElement.send_keys(Keys.DELETE)
