how to use send_keys for a Kendo UI numeric text entry box from python

[Bruce Hecht]

Hello,

I have a selenium webdriver (in Chrome) controlled from python.

I would like to modify a numeric entry box.

the source displays:

jQuery(function(){jQuery("#mydata").kendoNumericTextBox({"format":"n3"});});

I find the element By.Name with selenium:

import time

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.relative_locator import locate_with

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://mywebpage")

element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "mydatafield")

element.send_keys('5')

the send_keys gives an error:

ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable

thank you!
