How to input a text on a textbox using selenium with Python

I'm using Selenium with Python to input an address into a textbox within the Glovo page for Madrid. The code I wrote can be seen below, and the error I get is also copied after the code.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
url = 'https://glovoapp.com/es/es/madrid/'
# open browser
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# load page
driver.get(url)
# find field
item = driver.find_element_by_class_name('address-input__container')
# select textbox and input text
time.sleep(2)
item.click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "el-input__inner"))
)
item = driver.find_element_by_class_name('el-input__inner')
time.sleep(2)
item.send_keys('Calle')
The error I get is shown below.
Traceback (most recent call last):
item.send_keys('Calle')

Locator you are using is returning 2 different elements. See if this works
item = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='el-input__inner' and #data-test-id='address-input-autocomplete']")
item.send_keys("Calle")

Using various xpath for the element address-input__containerand trying to click it is not working while automation and throws ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable You can refer this question. Applying the same and it works.
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
driver.get("https://glovoapp.com/es/es/madrid/")
box = driver.find_element_by_class_name('address-input__container')
time.sleep(2)
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(box).click(box).perform()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#data-test-id='address-input-autocomplete']").send_keys("SampleText")

Element Not interactable Selenium Python

I am trying to send keys to the text box on https://www.wolframalpha.com/ but as you can see I was hit with an error. I've tried looking thru the elements but nothing seems to be working if you are able to help I will be thankful. using python3.7, my code:
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Chrome\Application\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.wolframalpha.com/')
driver.find_element_by_xpath('_9CcbX').send_keys('1+1')

First of all, you get NoSuchElementException, because you are searching by xpath, with class-name argument. (_9CcbX is a class name). Instead, you can copy element's correct xpath:
inspect
right-click element
copy -> copy full xpath
This will give you:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div[1]/section/form/div/div/input').send_keys('1+1')
Second of all, you should use WebdriverWait to be sure the element has loaded and is interactable.
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
xpath = '/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div[1]/section/form/div/div/input'
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath)))
element.send_keys('1+1')

Python Selenium - Unable to locate element

I just started learning selenium and I'm facing some issues with some code that should be quite easy to write..
I'm simply trying to enter "Paris" in the input field, but I keep getting the error: "Unable to locate element". Do I need to refer to the div tag or the input tag in order for it to work?
Here's my code at the moment.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time
# Setup webdriver
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
# Open website maximized
driver.get("https://www.corsair.ca/")
driver.maximize_window()
print(driver.title)
# Select and enter destination
wait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Votre destination']"))).click()
to_city = driver.find_element_by_class_name("form-control valid")
to_city.send_keys("Paris")
to_city.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
Here's the error I have

Selenium Python Error

I am trying to create a small test program that is able to login into gmail. So far the program opens up the website on chrome but then fails to actually type anything into the "Enter Email" form box. Also I am receiving an error within the shell which may provide insight into my question.
Driver Version: 2.40
Chrome Version: 67.0.3396.99
Below is the code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver= webdriver.Chrome('C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://mail.google.com")
emailid=driver.find_element_by_name("identifier")
emailid.send_keys("samplekeys")
Below is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

try this :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'C:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')
browser.get("http://mail.google.com")
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
user_name = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'identifierId')))
user_name.click()
user_name.send_keys("samplekeys")

You need to download the chromedriver, and put the path to your webdriver.Chrome(), for example my chromedriver are in /usr/local/bin/chromdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
or for widndows
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')

Python with Selenium: Unable to find element to type in

I'm trying to find an element on website using Selenium but am having a hard time:
The page I'm looking at: https://corporate.axisbank.co.in/
The HTML from the selected element looks as follows:
<input name="FORM_CORPORATEID" type="text" onpaste="return false" ondrop="return false" ondrag="return false" oncopy="return false" oncut="return false" autocomplete="off" id="corporateId" class="cm-input-box has-gradient-border">
I've tried using Id, XPath etc but keep getting errors:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bankurl= "https://corporate.axisbank.co.in/"
driver.get(bankurl)
driver.find_element_by_name("FORM_CORPORATEID").send_keys("USERNAME")
I end up getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/alwyn.kotze/PycharmProjects/AlwynAuto1/Automations/Axis1.py", line 8, in <module>
driver.find_element_by_name("FORM_CORPORATEID").send_keys("USERNAME")

What could be causing this error?

As per the HTML you have provided to find the element and send the text USERNAME you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable as follows:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bankurl= "https://corporate.axisbank.co.in/"
driver.get(bankurl)
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#corporateId"))).send_keys("USERNAME")
Browser Snapshot:

from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bankurl= "https://corporate.axisbank.co.in/"
driver.get(bankurl)
time.sleep(5)
driver.find_element_by_id('corporateId').send_keys("USERNAME")
