Access a button with its name in Selenium Python

Question

These are the html for a button which changes x-path dynamically but "Show Actions" remains the same. I am confused whether "Show Actions" is name, title or id of the button.

Is there anyway to click this button with "Show Actions" or any other ways?

Show Actions seems to be the text content of the element.
You can try clicking it with the following way:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[contains(text(),'Show Actions')]").click()

Or

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[contains(.,'Show Actions')]").click()

You will possibly need to add an expected condition to wait for this element clickability, as following:

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(.,'Show Actions')]"))).click()
