How to retrieve a element from HTML and XPATH using python?

Question

I have a HTML as follows:

<input type="checkbox" name="jform[groups][]" value="2" id="1group_2" checked="checked" rel="1group_1">

I want to get the attribute "checked" from this using selenium webdriver. How do I do that?

Thanks for your help in advance.

As per the HTML you have shared to retrieve the value checked from the attribute checked you can use:

css_selector:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[id*='group_'][name^='jform'][type='checkbox']").get_attribute("checked")

xpath:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[contains(@id,'group_') and starts-with(@name,'jform')][@type='checkbox']").get_attribute("checked")
