python 3.x - Can't seem to find an XPath with a value that contains double quotes

Question

I've read through the forums and apparently almost nobody has issues to find XPaths with values with double quotes, most posts I found talked about finding Xpaths to elements with values that had both single quotes and double quotes, so I decided to ask this question, I apologize if this is already answered elsewhere.

Anyway, the element I wanted to find goes more or less like this:

<a class="product" title="REALIZE  "WHY  NO.T"" width="454" height="423" alt="" id="">
    </a>

I tried changing the XPath several times without success, using Selenium Webdriver

'//a[@title="REALIZE "WHY  NO.T""]' 

'//a[@title="REALIZE "WHY  NO.T""]'

"//a[@title="REALIZE "WHY  NO.T""]"

These are a few of the ones I tried, there are a few more but I didn't save all the ones I tried

I feel like it might be a matter of me missing something terribly basic, but I've been looking for the answer for hours without success

Answer 1

//*[@title='REALIZE "WHY NO.T"']

You have to wrap content with single quotes, the python code will be ( escaping the single quotes

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@title='REALIZE "WHY NO.T"']')
