How to click 'Submit' button using a specific tag with Selenium

Question

Page source code below:

<button class="ui-button-primary ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default 
ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only" type="submit" data-
qa="sidebar.find.submit.button" role="button" aria-disabled="false">
<span class="ui-button-text">Find</span></button>

How do I click this button with Selenium Webdriver and is it possible to click it using the qa=sidebar.find.submit.button

Sure, you can use a CSS selector:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button[data-qa="sidebar.find.submit.button"]')

Is there another way to select this button? This way did not work for some reason. I got 'unable to locate element' error.

And in python, this way :

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@data-qa='sidebar.find.submit.button']")).click();
