title: xpath selection of html results in element response
body: <pre><code>from lxml import html
  import requests
  
  url = 'https://www.data.gov/'
  r = requests.get(url)
  doc = html.fromstring(r.content)
  link = doc.xpath('/html/body/header/div[4]/div/div/h4/label/small/a')
  print(link)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This keeps giving me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Element a at 0x1c64c963f48] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>response instead the actual number I am seeking in the page?  Any idea why?<br>
  Also, why can't I get a <code>type(link)</code> value to see the type?</p>
