How to translate selenium into python?

can someone translate this into python code so, for example, I know the first and second line will be
driver.get("link im using")
driver.set_window_size(945, 757)
I just can't figure out the rest

The equivalent python code for:
will be:
driver.get("link im using")
driver.set_window_size(945, 757)
driver.switch_to.frame(1)
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".tg-join > span").click()

How can I select a html element no matter what frame it is in in selenium?
Switch to an iframe through Selenium and python

to select a frame you can use
driver.switch_to_frame()
to click on an item you can use
driver.find_element_by_xpath().click()
to switch to a window
driver.switch_to_window()

How to get Id with Selenium Chromedriver with Python?

I want to get the Id of an iFrame directly with Selenium Chromedriver in Python without Javascript if possible, but I don't know why is failing.
When I do this I get wrong Id result as shown below.
>>> driver.find_element_by_class_name("MyClass").id
u'5b6a-c153-4e7f-90b2-b7e45'
If I send the following Javascript command on Chrome Console I get the correct frame Id:
> document.getElementsByClassName('MyClass')[0].id
< "MyFrame89-0-bed65f30"
Now when I try to use the same Javascript command within driver.execute_script() it doesn't show anything.
>>> driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('MyClass')[0].id")
>>>
So, here I have 2 issues:
1- driver.find_element_by_class_name().id is not showing the correct Id
2- driver.execute_script() it doesn't show anything.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE
A sample html code is here https://jsfiddle.net/k3x9rsa6/1/

The id you're retrieving is NOT the html id attribute.
Try retrieving it one of these ways:
driver.find_element_by_class_name("MyClass").get_attribute("id")
Or
driver.find_element_by_class_name("MyClass").get_property("id")

Search results don't change URL - Web Scraping with Python and Selenium

I am trying to create a python script to scrape the public county records website. I ultimately want to be able to have a list of owner names and the script run through all the names and pull the most recent deed of trust information (lender name and date filed). For the code below, I just wrote the owner name as a string 'ANCHOR EQUITIES LTD'.
I have used Selenium to automate the entering of owner name into form boxes but when the 'return' button is pressed and my results are shown, the website url does not change. I try to locate the specific text in the table using xpath but the path does not exist when I look for it. I have concluded the path does not exist because it is searching for the xpath on the first page with no results shown. BeautifulSoup4 wouldn't work in this situation because parsing the url would only return a blank search form html
See my code below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://deed.co.travis.tx.us/ords/f?p=105:5:0::NO:::#results')
ownerName = browser.find_element_by_id("P5_GRANTOR_FULLNAME")
ownerName.send_keys('ANCHOR EQUITIES LTD')
docType = browser.find_element_by_id("P5_DOCUMENT_TYPE")
docType.send_keys("deed of trust")
ownerName.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
print(browser.page_source)
#lenderName = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"report_results\"]/tbody[2]/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[25]/td[9]/text()")
enter code here
I have commented out the variable that is giving me trouble.. Please help!!!!
If I am not explaining my problem correctly, please feel free to ask and I will clear up any questions.

I think you almost have it.
You match the element you are interested in using:
lenderNameElement = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"report_results\"]/tbody[2]/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[25]/td[9]")
Next you access the text of that element:
lenderName = lenderNameElement.text
Or in a single step:
lenderName = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id=\"report_results\"]/tbody[2]/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[25]/td[9]").text

have you used following xpath?
//table[contains(#summary,"Search Results")]/tbody/tr
I have checked it's work perfect.In that, you have to iterate each tr

How to identify and switch to the frame source in Selenium?

I have been using the Selenium and Python2.7, on Firefox.
I would like it to work like the following, but I do not know how to write code.
Driver.get('https://video-download.online')
Url='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waQlR8W8aTA'
Driver.find_element_by_id("link").send_keys(Url)
Driver.find_element_by_id("submit").click()
time.sleep(5)
#[Click]lowermost(highest quality) radio button
#[Click]Proceed button

You are able to get frame locator value in HTML code which is specified in iframes tag. u can move up from where your locator value is existed in HTML code.
This function is suitable:
def frame_switch(css_selector):
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_css_selector(css_selector))
If you are just trying to switch to the frame based on the name attribute, then you can use this:
def frame_switch(name):
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element_by_name(name))

Extracting hidden element in Selenium

I have an element of type hidden in an iframe. I am wondering if there would be any way to get this value as I am using selenium. More specifically it is a captcha field. I've tried pulling it with something along the lines of
#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_bin_path)
driver.get('http://websitehere.com')
print driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="recaptcha-token"]').text
but because of it's hidden nature it returns nothing.
Below is a snippet of the source.
Highlighted is the string of interest. (value)

driver.switch_to_frame('undefined')
token_value = driver.find_element_by_id('recaptcha-token').get_attribute('value')
driver.switch_to_default_content()
Moving between windows and frames.

Use this method
hidden_text = element.get_attribute("textContent")
