<div class="general_table">

        <div class="general_text2">Abhishek</div>
    </div>
    <div class="general_m">
        <div class="general_text1">Last Name</div>
        <div class="general_text2">Kulkarni</div>
    </div>
    <div class="general_s">

To read this table using selenium webdriver, xpath seems to be the easy way -

I'm do not know python properly so the code might be wrong but the idea seems to be right -

To find out the number of div tags with in the general_table we use the xpath -

driver.find_elements_by_xpath(("//*[@class='general_table']/div") which will return a List with size - 6.

Then you can loop through each of the elements using a loop -

for(int i=1;i<=list.length;i++){
    String text1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='general_table']/div["+i+"]/div[1]").text;
    String text2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='general_table']/div["+i+"]/div[2]").text;
}

You can read all the tags in the table by this way.
