How to follow a link that is actually a click button

I need to fill a form aproximately 100 times a day. I tried with selenium but it is quite slow because it is using a web browser. It's working quite well with mechanicalsoup until I need to click "Accept" button. Clicking it activates other tables that need to be filled but are inactive before clicking this button. I tried to point to the button and then br.follow_link(button) unsuccesfully. I attach the piece of HTML that I need to fake. I'm looking for a way to produce the effect of clicking avoiding using Selenium.

Aceptar

Sounds like you need JavaScript capability so the button's click would render the tables, but MechanicalSoup doesn't do Javascript.

MechanicalSoup's docs says:

MechanicalSoup automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects, and can follow links and submit forms. It doesn’t do Javascript.
