Python Splinter cannot click button

I am running through the Splinter tutorial located here: http://splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html#

The code I am using:

from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser()
browser.visit('http://google.com')
browser.fill('q', 'chicago pizza')
button = browser.find_by_name('btnG')
button.click()

Every time I try to get my code to click the search I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
    button.click()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\splinter\driver\webdriver\__init__.py", line 546, in click
    self._element.click()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 77, in click
    self._execute(Command.CLICK_ELEMENT)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 493, in _execute
    return self._parent.execute(command, params)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 256, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 194, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
ElementNotInteractableException: Message:

I have used browser.find_by_id, browser.find_by_tag, browser.find_by_text and none have worked, all giving me the same error.

I am running python 2.7.8 Firefox v 54.0.1 (32-bit) and have selenium installed. Any idea of how to fix this? I think it may have to do with my geckodriver.

I would like to solve the problem and not have to work around it by say switching web browsers.

Everything worked fine except you have entered wrong name of button.

Here is the working code

from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser()
browser.visit('http://google.com')
browser.fill('q', 'chicago pizza')
button = browser.find_by_name('btnK')
button.click()
