[🐛 Bug]: Document for "Locator strategies" does explain what is "By"

[HGtz2222]

What happened?

https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/elements/locators/

In this page, the demo code show how to locator an element, such as:

driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "information")

But I cannot see what is the "By", and how can I import "By" in my code.

If I use Java, IDE can help me generate code to import "By" . But if I use Python, most IDE cannot do such thing.
So I hope the document can add the import statement for these key identifiers such as "By".

Thanks very much!

So, first, we are trying to move away from static code, and move all examples to our repo.
But even in our repo we are trying to only import the lines of code that matter. At least this way there will be a big link to see the full example.

At the same time, I'm leaning towards us just using the full path for classes instead of doing imports to make it more obvious where it is coming from.
e.g.:

webdriver.common.by.By.ID

So do we thing this is a bug and need a fix or CR ?

@HGtz2222 I see for Python you can import By using

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

Yes, we should either do the full path for it, or include the import line in a second reference.
