How do i click a Button inside a Table using Selenium(Python)

<table _ngcontent-c19="" class="table">
  <tbody _ngcontent-c19="">
    <tr _ngcontent-c19=""><!---->
      <td _ngcontent-c19="" class="ng-star-inserted">
        <div _ngcontent-c19="" class="span3" style="height: auto;">
          <div _ngcontent-c19="" class="text-center" style="visibility: visible;">
            <button _ngcontent-c19="" class="b1" type="submit">Click This</button>
          </div><!---->
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

I'm trying to click a button inside a table using SELENIUM.

The Code I've Written is 

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(getText(),'Click This')]").click()

and

driver.find_element_by_class_name('b1').click()

they both throw an Element not Found Exception

Because your code runs faster than your browser that's why you need to tell him to wait until the element is visible and clickable.

button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Click This']"))
button.click()

you can try with this xpath : 

wait = WebDriverWait(driver,30)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(text(),'Click This') and @class='b1']"))).click()

Note that you will have to import : 

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