I see that there are methods for getting the screen position and dimensions of an element through various Java libraries for Selenium, such as org.openqa.selenium.Dimension, which offers .getSize(), and org.openqa.selenium.Point with getLocation().
Is there any way to get either the location or dimensions of an element with the Selenium Python bindings?

Method 1
Got it! The clue was on selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement — Selenium 3.14 documentation.
WebElements have the properties .size and .location. Both are of type dict.
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
e = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//someXpath")
location = e.location
size = e.size
w, h = size['width'], size['height']
print(location)
print(size)
print(w, h)
Output:
{'y': 202, 'x': 165}
{'width': 77, 'height': 22}
77 22
They also have a property called rect which is itself a dict, and contains the element’s size and location.
