How to click on a pop-up button with Selenium using Python

I want to click on a popup window but after trying several ways, I obtain a "TimeoutException" error.
This is the code that I'm trying:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#class='modal-footer modal-footer-gallit-postula' and #id='modal_comentarios']"))).click()
And I attach an image of the html
For further information, the popup is very similar to the one appearing in the url below after clicking on the green button that says "Postular" (to get the exact popup it's necessary to be logged in). https://trabajo.gallito.com.uy/anuncio/vendedor-automotriz-qm995

The desired element is within a Modal Dialog Box so to click on the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.modal-footer.modal-footer-gallit-postula > button.btn.btn-primary.btn-color-postula"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='btn btn-primary btn-color-postula' and text()='Aceptar']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

You can use time.sleep() to handle this. For context:
from selenium import...
import time
driver.get(url)
butn = driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='//*
[#id="postular"]').click()
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='____').click()
-I don't have the credentials to login, but this is how i handle modal alerts

Selenium: Click on dropdown is not working

I am trying to use selenium click to open dropdown menu and then click again to download a file. Common error I get is that the "element is not attached to the page document" Have tried different codes but here's one:
#button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//ul[#class="dropdown-menu-right dropdown-menu"]')
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "options-dropdown")))
element.click()
HTML snapshot:

Generally <ul> nodes along with it's decendent <li> nodes gets expanded clicking on <span> nodes.
Solution
To click and open the drop-down-menu i.e. to expand the <li> nodes you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.dropdown-toggle#options-dropdown"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='dropdown-toggle' and #id='options-dropdown']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

How to click on a button using Selenium

I'm making some test with selenium on this page:
https://www.justwatch.com/es/proveedor/hbo-max/peliculas
The first time you get in the page you must accept the privacy settings but I cannot get it to work. I've tried all the methods I now but it seems like I can't find the button I want so the program stops as the waiting time ends. The button I want to click is:
<button role="button" data-testid="uc-save-button" class="sc-gsDKAQ eaUldE" style="margin: 0px 6px;">Guardar configuración</button>
I tried to locate the button by text, class and using the XPath but doesnt work.
WebDriverWait(driver, 5)\
.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'sc-gsDKAQ eaUldE'.replace(' ', '.'))))\
.click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 5)\
.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[2]//div/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/button[1]')))\
.click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 5)\
.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, 'Guardar configuración')))\
.click()
I will appreciate your help.

To click on the desired element you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-testid='uc-save-button']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#data-testid='uc-save-button' and text()='Guardar configuración']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Clicking a button which is inside another element Selenium

HTML snapshot:
Hi I want press the button labelled log in on this page, the html for the button is as follows:
<button class="">Log In</button>
the problem is there is multiple log in buttons on the same page with this code so I want to specify this button by using the id of the container the button is in:
<li id = 'bs-bk-PP" class = "_2t6uLu"
How do I find and click the log in button using these properties.
Thanks

To click on the element with text as Log In you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using xpath:
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//li[#id='bs-bk-PP']//button[#class and text()='Log In']").click()
Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//li[#id='bs-bk-PP']//button[#class and text()='Log In']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Trying to find submit button in elements

im trying to code a steambot in python that will post in steamgroup;Im having problem with last step,
i cant find the sumbit button
<button type="submit" class="btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium" id="commentthread_General_34191408_submit">
<span>Post Discussion</span>
</button>

To identify the submit button with text as Post Discussion you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.btn_green_white_innerfade.btn_medium[id^='commentthread_General_'][id$='_submit']>span")
Using XPATH:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[#class='btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium' and starts-with(#id, 'commentthread_General_')]/span[text()='Post Discussion']")
However, as it is a submit button so moving ahead you will invoke click() on it, so you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn_green_white_innerfade.btn_medium[id^='commentthread_General_'][id$='_submit']>span"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='btn_green_white_innerfade btn_medium' and starts-with(#id, 'commentthread_General_')]/span[text()='Post Discussion']"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Here is your button, works 100%. I checked it locally.
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[#type='submit']")
