Selenium click button with <a> tag - intercepted exception

I am trying to click a button on a website in Python using Selenium. The html for the button I want looks like this:
<a onclick="exportGridExcel()"><span class="accordion-download"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o" title="Download Excel" aria-hidden="true"></i></span></a>
A more expanded version of the html is:
<div class="lang-switch-wrapper lang-switch-inverse-wrapper">
<div class="lang-switch">
<ul>
<li class="dropdown">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle lang-lable" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<span class=" hidden-xs">English</span>
<span class="hidden-lg hidden-md hidden-sm">EN</span>
<img src="/etc/designs/wbrrdesign/clientlibs-wbrredsign/img/angle-down-gray.svg" alt="dropdown"></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-item">
<li>Español</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Then some other stuff before going to the button group and button I want:
<div class="button-group">
<button onclick="onModifyQuery()" type="button" class="btn">Modify Query</button>
<a onclick="exportGridExcel()"><span class="accordion-download"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o" title="Download Excel" aria-hidden="true"></i></span></a>
<a title="Undo to column removal" onclick="restoreColumn()" class="toggle-btn primary-light-blue-btn"><i class="fa fa-circle-o-notch" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
</div>
Part of my confusion is inexperience with this html with multiple classes and "i class".
EDIT:
If I try something like:
WebDriverWait(driver,300).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[onclick='exportGridExcel()']"))).click()
Then I get the error:
ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <a onclick="exportGridExcel()">...</a> is not clickable at point (772, 11). Other element would receive the click: <div class="lang-switch-wrapper lang-switch-inverse-wrapper">...</div>

The problem is that your page is automatically scrolled up and the excel download button is probably hidden by the top banner that contains the language selector. When Selenium tries to click on the excel download button, it finds the language selector instead.
I would suggest you to scroll the page up till the whole data table is visible
You can use something like this. Press HOME key to go to top of the page
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
...
...
element = WebDriverWait(driver,300).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[onclick='exportGridExcel()']")))
element.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + Keys.HOME)
element.click()

Ideally clicking on the element <a onclick="exportGridExcel()"> as per your code trials inducing WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() should have worked.
However, there seems to be a decendant <span>. So you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[onclick^='exportGridExcel'] > span.accordion-download"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[starts-with(#onclick, 'exportGridExcel')]/span[#class='accordion-download']"))).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
In another approach you can also use JavascriptExecutor as follows:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[onclick^='exportGridExcel'] > span.accordion-download")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Using XPATH:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[starts-with(#onclick, 'exportGridExcel')]/span[#class='accordion-download']")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

How can I access href that is inside a data-field, using selenium (Python)?

I'm using selenium for web scraping, and I have the following HTML:
<a data-field="---" class="---" target="---" href="https://www.example.com/0000/">
<div class="display-flex align-items-center">
<span class="mr1 hoverable-link-text t-bold">
How can I access the href link and click on it?
I used the following and didn't get results, would be great to understand why:
browser.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "https://www.example.com")
browser.find_element(By.XPATH,"//a[contains(text(),'https://www.example.com')]")
Thanks!
Edit:
The page I'm working on is the LinkedIn interests page (companies that I follow). You can find it on: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourusername/details/interests/?detailScreenTabIndex=1
For each company I follow, there is an HTML:
<a data-field="active_tab_companies_interests" class="optional-action-target-wrapper
display-flex flex-column full-width" target="_self" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/1016/">
<div class="display-flex align-items-center">
<span class="mr1 hoverable-link-text t-bold">
<span aria-hidden="true"><!---->GE Healthcare<!----></span><span class="visually-hidden"><!---->GE Healthcare<!----></span>
</span>
<!----><!----><!----> </div>
<!----> <span class="t-14 t-normal t-black--light">
<span aria-hidden="true"><!---->1,851,945 followers<!----></span><span class="visually-hidden"><!---->1,851,945 followers<!----></span>
</span>
<!----> </a>
I want to find href, in my example: "https://www.linkedin.com/company/1016/"
The code I wrote (with the help of the comments):
# log in
browser.get("https://www.linkedin.com")
username = browser.find_element(By.ID,"session_key")
username.send_keys("youremail")
password = browser.find_element(By.ID,"session_password")
password.send_keys("yourpassword")
login_button = browser.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "sign-in-form__submit-button")
login_button.click()
# companies I follow on Linkedin
browser.get("https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/details/interests/?detailScreenTabIndex=1")
# find all company links
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
company_page = browser.find_elements(By.XPATH,"//a[contains(#href,'https://www.linkedin.com/company/')]")
for x in range (len(company_page)):
print(company_page[x].text)
The output for "GE healthcare" (from the HTML snippet) is:
GE Healthcare
GE Healthcare
1,852,718 followers
1,852,718 followers
and not the href link that I'm looking for. I don't understand why it finds these texts and not the link.
Thanks!

https://www.example.com/0000/ is not a text attribute content. It is a value of href attribute. This is why both you locators are wrong.
Please try this:
browser.find_element(By.XPATH,"//a[contains(#href,'https://www.example.com')]")
Adding a .click() will probably click on that element, as following:
browser.find_element(By.XPATH,"//a[contains(#href,'https://www.example.com')]").click()
You may probably will need to add a delay to wait for the element to be clickable. In this case WebDriverWait expected conditions is the right way to do it, as following:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(#href,'https://www.example.com')]"))).click()

How to click on elements blocked by pop up using selenium python?

I want to click open the options in the menu on the left but they are blocked by the pop-up. How can I do that?
here is what I have tried:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
chromedriver = "/usr/share/chromedriver/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
driver.get("https://student.amizone.net")
driver.find_element(By.NAME, "_UserName").send_keys("username")
driver.find_element(By.NAME, "_Password").send_keys("password")
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#loginform .login100-form-btn").click()
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
#11 | click | id=ModalPopAmityHostel |
driver.find_element(By.ID, "ModalPopAmityHostel").click()
# 11 | click | id=StudentSatisfactionPop | |
driver.find_element(By.ID, "StudentSatisfactionPop").click()
this code closes the 1st pop-up but doesn't close the 2nd pop-up. In the code first I login to the website https://student.amizone.net i have not shown my username and password(obviously). after that driver.find_element(By.ID, "ModalPopAmityHostel").click() is supposed to click outside the pop-up which closes the pop-up. similarly driver.find_element(By.ID, "StudentSatisfactionPop").click() is supposed to close the 2nd pop-up.
this is the snippet of html code of the pop up elements:
<form action="/PopUp/Home/SANGATHANQuizpopupSave" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-loading="#lodingDiv" data-ajax-method="POST" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-success=" $('#SANGATHANQuizpop').modal('hide');$('.modal-backdrop').remove();$(document.body).removeClass('modal-open');alertify.alert('Successfully Saved.'); " data-ajax-update="#Div_Partial" id="form0" method="post"></form>

You can close popups by clicking on close buttons. In your code you click to the div instead of close buttons, that's why popups do not close (see correct locators for the close buttons).
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
chromedriver = "/usr/share/chromedriver/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://student.amizone.net")

# wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#StudentSatisfactionPop button.btn"))).click()

As the <button> tags with text as Close are with in Modal Dialog Box so to locate and click() on the desired elements you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
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://student.amizone.net')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "form#loginform input[name='_UserName']"))).send_keys("7071804")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("form#loginform input[name='_Password']").send_keys("62ae6f")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("form#loginform button[type='submit']").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#ModalPopAmityHostel div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-primary[data-dismiss='modal']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#StudentSatisfactionPop div.modal-footer button.btn.btn-default[data-dismiss='modal']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
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://student.amizone.net')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//form[#id='loginform']//input[#name='_UserName']"))).send_keys("7071804")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[#id='loginform']//input[name='_Password']").send_keys("62ae6f")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//form[#id='loginform']//button[type='submit']").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='ModalPopAmityHostel']//div[#class='modal-footer']//button[#class='btn btn-primary' and #data-dismiss='modal']"))).click()

How to click on a Radio Button as per the HTML using Selenium and Python

I am trying to click on element with following html code:
<div class="delivery-pseudo-table">
<div class=" i-popup-lk user-address" id="userAddress">
<div class="address-container">
<div class="titlebar">
<h1 class="title"></h1>
</div>
<div id="userAddressContent"></div>
</div>
<div class="hide j-map map" id="addressMap"></div>
<div class="hide j-map-pickpoint postamat-map" id="pickpointMap"></div>
<div class="added-addres-loader"></div>
</div>
<ul class="delivery-method" data-jsv-df=""><li class="selfDelivery selectDeliveryWay active" data-jsv="#34_#35_" title="">
<script type="jsv#37_"></script>
<label><input autocomplete="off" checked="checked" data-id="2" name="orderDetails.DeliveryWay_q" type="radio" value="Self"/>Самовывоз</label>
<script type="jsv/37_"></script>
</li><li class="courierDelivery selectDeliveryWay" data-jsv="/35_#38_" title="">
<script type="jsv#39_"></script>
<label><input autocomplete="off" data-id="1" name="orderDetails.DeliveryWay_q" type="radio" value="Courier"/>Доставка курьером</label>
<script type="jsv/39_"></script>
</li><li class="wbpostamatDelivery selectDeliveryWay" data-jsv="/38_#40_" title="">
<script type="jsv#41_"></script>
<label><input autocomplete="off" data-id="16" name="orderDetails.DeliveryWay_q" type="radio" value="WbPostamat"/>Постамат</label>
<script type="jsv/41_"></script>
</li></ul>
I need to click on button with value "Courier"
And I am trying to do it with following Python code:
elem = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[type='radio'][#value='Courier']")
elem.click()
(I've also tried to find by xpath)
But it says that the element is invisible. Are the any ways to click on such element?

Try to use this xPath:
//input[#type='radio' and #value='Courier']
also try to use WebDriverWait:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#type='radio' and #value='Courier']"))).click()
Note: you have to add some imports:
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
WebDriverWait statement is for waiting at least 10 seconds until element will be clickable and only then clicks on it.
PS: more information about WebDriverWait can be found here.
EDIT: try to execute JavaScript:
radio_btn = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#type='radio' and #value='Courier']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", radio_btn)

As per the HTML you have shared the <ul> tag contains a lot of JavaScripts so to invoke click() on the desired element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:
CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "ul.delivery-method li.courierDelivery.selectDeliveryWay input[value='Courier']"))).click()
XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//ul[#class='delivery-method']//li[#class='courierDelivery selectDeliveryWay']//input[#value='Courier']"))).click()

Selenium in Python using Chrome, How to select element for clicking of Personal Info. options and then click on Personal Details

Actually your provided locator looks incorrect that's why are unable to find element, you should try using WebDriverWait to wait until element present as below :-
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
#first switch to frame if present
driver.switch_to_frame("frame id or name")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
# now find menu and click
menu = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, ".//*[contains(., 'Personal Info')]")))
menu.click()
#now find submemu and click
submemu = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, ".//*[contains(., 'Personal Detail')]")))
submemu.click()
