The original example used JavaScript destructuring syntax [table] which doesn't work in Python. Fixed to use proper Python array indexing.

Greptile Overview

Summary

This PR fixes a syntax error in the Python documentation example within the observe.mdx file. The original code incorrectly used JavaScript/TypeScript destructuring syntax `[ table ] = await page.observe(...)` which is invalid in Python. The fix replaces this with proper Python array indexing: `tables = await page.observe(...); table = tables[0]`.

This change ensures the documentation provides working Python code that users can actually execute. The modification fits well within the codebase's documentation structure, which provides examples in multiple programming languages. The observe functionality is a core part of Stagehand's API for identifying page elements before performing actions or extractions, so having correct Python examples is crucial for Python developers using the library.

The developer also improved the code quality by using more descriptive variable names and adding clearer comments to explain the two-step process of getting observations and selecting one.
