Close pop-up window on website using Selenium

So I'm trying to scrape some information from a website and can't get through a pop-up window. I've tried using short and full Xpath of the X button but it doesn't close.
here is my code
# import
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = 'mypath/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS')
driver.find_Element_By_xpath('//*[#id="simplemodal-container"]/a').click();
The code does open the website but doesn't close the pop-up. What might be the issue?

You automation script needs an explicit waits, and the below xpath :-
//a[#title='Close']
Code : -
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = 'mypath/chromedriver.exe')
driver.maximize_window()
#driver.implicitly_wait(50)
driver.get("https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#title='Close']"))).click()
Imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

If you want to use your code as is:
# import
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = 'mypath/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS')
driver.find_Element_By_xpath('/html[1]/body[1]/div[7]/a[1]').click();
This worked for me and closed the pop up window.

Selenium Instagram Login - Unable to locate element

from selenium import webdriver
userName = "myusername123"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="loginForm"]/div/div[1]/div/label/input').send_keys(userName)
Error
Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*. [#id="loginForm"]/div/div[1]/div/label/input"}
I'm trying to make a login in Instagram using selenium but I can't reach the username box with XPath

You could check with the explicitWait and use the name attribute
username=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//input[#name='username']")))
username.send_keys("userName")
password=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//input[#name='password']")))
password.send_keys("password")
import
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium import webdriver

See, there is name attribute available, you can try with that as below :-
driver.find_element_by_name('username').send_keys(userName)
name is always a reliable locator than xpath
if the above does not work, you can try with the Explicit waits as well :-
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
userName = "myusername123"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, 'username'))).send_keys(userName)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(( By.NAME, "password"))).send_keys('somepassword')
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(( By.XPATH, "//div[text()='Log In']/.."))).click()

How can i make that this program fills in the Form?

Recently i have began with Selenium in Python with Chromium Webdriver, but it doesn't fill in the Login Screen, what did i wrong? I think it has to be with the "find_element" function. Here's my 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
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://instagram.com")
print(driver.title)
input_username = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div/label/input")
input_username.send_keys("lowity")
time.sleep(5)
input_paswd = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[3]/div/label/input")
input_paswd.send_keys("password")
time.sleep(5)
button_login = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[4]/button")
button_login.click()
time.sleep(5)
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()
And the console has no error output.

You have to wait for element being clickable in order to click it. The best way is to user the WebdriverWait() function with until(EC.element_to_be_clickable) Here is the updated 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
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = 'C:\\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://instagram.com")
print(driver.title)
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div/label/input"))).send_keys("lowity")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[3]/div/label/input"))).send_keys("janosch2005")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[1]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[4]/button"))).click()
driver.quit()

selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: this error will getting when I'm trying to button click using python

I'm using Selenium package to button click for a website. When I'm trying i'm getting an error as:
selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:
this is the code which trying to run.
import time
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 bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BSoup
from datetime import date, timedelta
import pyodbc

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("https://www.cbsl.gov.lk/rates-and-indicators/exchange-rates/daily-buy-and-sell-exchange-rates")
#time.sleep(10)
#browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="dailyexchange"]/div[2]/div/button[1]').click()
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="dailyexchange"]/div[2]/div/button[1]')))
element.click()

You need to switch to iframe before clicking button:
browser.get("https://www.cbsl.gov.lk/rates-and-indicators/exchange-rates/daily-buy-and-sell-exchange-rates")
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it('iFrameResizer2'))
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, 'select_button')))
element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
element.click()

The desired element is within an <iframe> so you have 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 either of the following solutions:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
browser.get("https://www.cbsl.gov.lk/rates-and-indicators/exchange-rates/daily-buy-and-sell-exchange-rates")
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#iFrameResizer2[src='/cbsl_custom/exratestt/exratestt.php']")))
WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.btn.btn-default[name='select_button']"))).click()

element not visible exception python

I try to write a short script to search a key word on newspaper's website and an
'ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not visible' is raised.
I'm not able to fixe it...
Thank you for help
code:
import os
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
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.tsa-algerie.com")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 8)
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("s")
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.name,"s")))
elem.send_keys("Algieria")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
os.system('pause')

You just made a variable called wait:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 8)
But you didn't use it in your code. Try this:
visibility_of_element_located
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
WebDriverWait(driver, 8).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "s")))
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("s")
That way script will wait until 's' element appear, then u gonna find this element. Remember about the order. First u wait, next you can use it.

This code will help you:
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
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.tsa-algerie.com")
driver.maximize_window()
#To click on Search Icon to open the search box
ele=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="template-header__search search__open transition"]/img')
ele.click()
#wait till search text box appear and then enter the desired keyword you want to search
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "s")))
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("s")
elem.send_keys("Algieria")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
