I currently have a total of 20 labels displayed on my page:
In [85]: sel.get_xpath_count("//label")
Out[85]: u'20'
By default, I am able to retrieve the text from the first label like this:
In [86]: sel.get_text("xpath=//label")
Out[86]: u'First label:'
However, when attempting to access the text of the second label using xpath subscripting, I encounter an error. This is contrary to what the xpath documentation suggests:
In [87]: sel.get_text("xpath=//label[2]")
ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (216, 0))

Why am I facing this issue?
