In HTML, the text of an element is (roughly speaking) the content found between its opening and closing tags:

<p>This is the text of a paragraph element.<p>

An <input> element, however, doesn’t have any inner content. Instead, its value is stored in its value attribute:

<input type="text" name="q" value="google search through python" />

This is why .text always returns None: no inner content means no text. Instead, you need to use .get_attribute("value"):

search = browser.find_element_by_name("q")
search.send_keys("google search through python")
print search.get_attribute("value")
