get tag of element selenium python

Question

Is there a way to get the tag of the element using selenium python? For eg:

    <div class = "...."></div>

Is there a way to get the result as div if the element is known? I do know that there's a solution with bs4 but my routine is well developed in selenium.

@LakshmiNarayanan you might find this useful, it's Python Selenium API. Focus on Webdriver.remote section.

You can use Selenium find_element_by_

Driver = webdriver.Chrome()
element = Driver.find_element_by_class_name(class_name)
element.tag_name

The documentation is over here.
