Selenium - mulltiple buttons with the same type [python]

I am trying to click on a button using selenium, and the only selector I can use is button's type. The problem is that there are two buttons with the same type on the webpage. And the problem is that I cannot control which one I am selecting. Currently, I am using:

```inputElement=fox.find_element_by_css_selector("button[type='submit']")```

However, this selects only the first button, not the second one. I think the solution would be to somehow identify button which lives inside a class which lives inside a different class. Is it possible to do something like that? I am documenting the problem below:

enter image description here

The button I cannot fetch

The first image is the one where the button is fetched with the line of code I gave, and the second one is the one where I cannot fetch the button.

Thanks!

if you are interest in the xpath then, you can do multiple things like indexing or giving just the text between button tag.

you can do something like this :

fox.find_element_by_xpath("(//button[@type='submit'])[2]")

or

fox.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='submit' and contains(text(), 'Ponisti')]")

for second button, just change this Ponisti to the button text

there are still few more ways to differentiate buttons.
