Hey Payal, use the code snippet shown below to perform mouse hover in Python with Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from time import sleep
    
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.edureka.co")

action = ActionChains(driver);

parent_level_menu = driver.find_element_by_id("tabscathome")
action.move_to_element(parent_level_menu).perform()

child_level_menu = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'DevOps')]")
child_level_menu.click();

sleep(10)

driver.close()

For further understanding, you can refer to the Selenium Course.

Try this for hover/mouseover in python web driver:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
def hover(self):
    wd = webdriver_connection.connection
    element = wd.find_element_by_link_text(self.locator)
    hov = ActionChains(wd).move_to_element(element)
    hov.perform()
I need to hover my mouse cursor to the hamburger menu of Amazon.com
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="")
driver.get("https://UrlToOpen") 
action = ActionChains(driver)
firstLevelMenu = driver.find_element_by_id("menu")
action.move_to_element(firstLevelMenu).perform()
secondLevelMenu = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'menu1')]")
secondLevelMenu.click()

You could use this code snippet by just replacing the necessary urls and menu items.
