How to find an Element by index in selenium Webdriver for python

Question

From there I want to access the 2nd element by using class name "maxbutton-1" as it has 3 same buttons and I can't use xpath or any constant selector so want to use the indexing with class and can't find anything to do that in python particular.

Also tried the method used in java to do same thing but it didn't worked.

just trying to automate the movie downloading process for any movie.

Thank you.

To click on first, second or third button, try to change number of element:

el1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[@class='maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-download-links'])[1]")

el2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[@class='maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-download-links'])[2]")

el3 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[@class='maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-download-links'])[3]")

then you can extract element href/link attribute like that:

link = el.get_attribute('href')

or click it like that:

el.click()
