Answer 1

请注意，wordlist.sort()它不会返回list，而只是对已存在的 list 进行排序，因此您可能需要这样做

wordlist.sort()
print wordlist

或尝试以下代码以获得所需的输出

data = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("textarea")
words = data.get_attribute('value')
sorted_list = sorted(words.split(', '))
print sorted_list
# ['all,', 'and,', 'because,', 'been,', 'cannot,', 'either,', 'else,', 'got,', 'had,', 'have,', 'his,', 'however,', 'its,', 'least,', 'let,', 'like,', 'likely,', 'may,', 'must,', 'neither,', 'other,', 'our', 'own,', 'rather,', 'should,', 'since,', 'some,', 'than,', 'that,', 'the,', 'their,', 'these,', 'they,', 'wants,', 'what,', 'which,', 'who,', 'whom,', 'why,', 'will,', 'with,', 'your,']
