Cannot find xpath element to click with webdriver

I'm using the https://www.perlego.com/ website to do some scraping for books, my current problem is that i'm trying to search using the isbn Number of the book so the webdriver gets this following page for example https://www.perlego.com/search?query=9780717183241
However, using page inspection on the website, i cannot find the element that i can click on using webdriver
the idea is to click on the book and load the page that comes with it

The following code closes the cookies banner and clicks on the book link and opens it
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=webdriver_service)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
url = "https://www.perlego.com/search?query=9780717183241&tab=book&page=1&language=All%20languages&publicationDate=&topic=&publisher=&author=&format="
driver.get(url)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-testid*='Cookies']"))).click()
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[data-test-locator*='new-book']"))).click()

website search bar doesn't work for python selenium

I would like auto-click the website and search for the information, but somehow the website cannot search, and keep loading. Or just close quickly after it print the key in search bar.
I would like auto-click the website and search for the information, and I tried:

driver.find_element('xpath', '//*[#id="SSForm"]/input[3]').click()
But somehow the website cannot search, and keep loading. Or just close quickly after it print the key in search bar.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

There are several issues here:
to prevent site from very long loading you can use eager pageLoadStrategy.
I see redundant ) at the end of this line driver.find_element('xpath', '//*[#id="inputSuggest"]').send_keys('sz111973'))
The following code works perfect:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
caps = DesiredCapabilities().CHROME
caps["pageLoadStrategy"] = "eager"
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options, desired_capabilities=caps,)
url = 'https://vip.stock.finance.sina.com.cn/mkt/#hs_z'
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
input = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'inputSuggest')))
input.clear()
input.send_keys('sz111973')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#inputSuggest +input'))).click()

Why isn't selenium successfully clicking my download link?

I am trying to use selenium to download an excel file from a website. I am not sure why the code isn't allowing me to download it. I get an exit code 0 so everything ran successfully but I am not seeing the file in my downloads.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
def scrape_mclellan_website():
url = 'https://www.mcoscillator.com/market_breadth_data/'
s = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
op = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
op.add_argument('headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get(url)
download_link = driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='//*[#id="data_table"]/a[1]/img')
download_link.click()
scrape_mclellan_website()

How to fix?
Wait until the element you try to click is present and click the <a> not the <img>:
download_link = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="data_table"]/a[1]')))
download_link.click()
Set your preferences for donwload folder and take care window is opening in right size:
prefs = {'download.default_directory':'ENTER PATH TO DOWNLOAD FOLDER'}
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
Example (selenium 4)
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
service = Service(executable_path='ENTER YOUR PATH TO CHROMEDRIVER')
prefs = {'download.default_directory':'ENTER PATH TO DOWNLOAD FOLDER'}
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)

download_link = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="data_table"]/a[1]')))
download_link.click()

Please, help to fix it.

Solution update (11-Feb-2020)
Using the following set of binaries:
Selenium v3.141.0
ChromeDriver v80.0
Chrome Version 80.0
You can use the following updated block of code as a solution:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#id='recaptcha-anchor']"))).click()
Original solution
Within the URL https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies to invoke click() on the reCAPTCHA checkbox you need to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use the following solution:
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
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='recaptcha-checkbox goog-inline-block recaptcha-checkbox-unchecked rc-anchor-checkbox']/div[#class='recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark']"))).click()

I resolved this, you can try this with your landing website url.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import SessionNotCreatedException
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory": download_dir}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/bin/chromedriver", chrome_options = options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo")
driver.maximize_window()
price = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='g-recaptcha']")
price_content = price.get_attribute('innerHTML')
start = str(price_content).find(";k=")+len(";k=")
end = str(price_content).find("&co")
driver.implicitly_wait(20)
driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').style.display = '';")
recaptcha_text_area = driver.find_element_by_id("g-recaptcha-response")
recaptcha_text_area.clear()
recaptcha_text_area.send_keys(price_content[start:end])
#.....................................................................................
button = driver.find_element_by_id("recaptcha-demo-submit")
