How to use selenium to click on date symbol and enter dates?

I have to scrape data from a website. I have to click on each date from june 2019 to july 2019 and download data from that resulting page. Right now, I am unable to click on the calender icon and enter dates which is stopping me to go further. Is there a way to do this?

import bs4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

link = "http://apsdps.ap.gov.in/pages/reports_web/reports_daily_mandalwise.html"

webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome() 
driver.get(link)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='Zebra_DatePicker_Icon_Wrapper']").click

This is How I did in my project. Use send_keys to enter the date.

# //*[@id="txtDateFrom"]
datefield = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtDateFrom"]')
datefield.click()
datefield.clear()

datefield.send_keys("01/01/2018")

time.sleep(4)

datefield = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtDateTo"]')
datefield.click()
datefield.clear()
datefield.send_keys("3/02/2018")

The element is within iframe. you have to switch to the iframe and try click on the element.

    driver.switch_to_frame(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe"))
driver.find_element_by_name("date1").click()
