both_button.click()

Answer 2

As an alternative you can use JavascriptExecutor to perfrom click on certain element if Selenium click() method doesn't trigger the action without any Exception.

element = driver.find_element_by_id("etoolbar_toolbarSection_newcommandpagebtn_id")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Answer 3

I tried this, seems to be working

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("file://c:/cygwin64/home/das2/abcd.html")
element = driver.find_element_by_id("etoolbar_toolbarSection_newcommandpagebtn_id")
element.click()
