selenium create a delay before selecting button by name

Question

I would like to target a button that contains the name ="loginButton", and click the element after loading etc so it doesnt click on the loading spinner. How do I go about this webdriverwait targetting the name element?

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((find_element_by_name('loginButton'), "loginButton"))).click()

If you can't click it, it doesn't click it... If the delay is fixed you can use the time.sleep (yourdelay) function. — Matteo Bianchi

You are almost correct.
For the provided example try using following code:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "loginButton")))

element.click();
