Python Go through hidden elements one by one.

I have a few elements I want to click with selenium. The elements are hidden and I'm using the format right. Consequently, I'm looking for a workaround to iterate the function. I have the function in curly braces with the 'f' format to read the function. In order to see the element I have to switch the format to 'u'. The 'u' format only allows you to find hidden elements. Unfortunately, it does not read functions within curly braces. Which makes things more difficult to change the value within the variable. Also, there is no way to use both 'u' and 'f'. My question is if there is a workaround to achieve this task.
Code: 
browser.find_element(By.XPATH, f"/html/body/app-root/ac-site-layout/div[{number}]")

error - cannot locate element

Code: 
browser.find_element(By.XPATH, u"/html/body/app-root/ac-site-layout/div[{number}]")

error - can only hold one argument

Hey there,

Quick question: does your script need to be specifically be all in python?

I think the first thing we need is the website you are trying to use Selenium on and what you are trying to do.

The reason i ask is if you are trying to go through each hidden div you could instead do :-

Python: 
browser.find_elements(By.XPATH, "/html/body/app-root/ac-site-layout/div")

and this would get all of the divs for you
