To print the text 100 you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[class^='PaginationRow-module__lastPage']"))).text)

Using XPATH:

print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[starts-with(@class, 'PaginationRow-module__lastPage')]"))).text)

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
