I'm trying to access some elements inside of iframe but withour success. Basically, I found the iframe, switch to it, but I can get the element inside of it. All elements that I try, I always get a message saying that the element was not found.

Could you please help?

You can use the below code to switch to frame and then interact with the desired element :-

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH, "//iframe[contains(@sandbox,'allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox')]")))
ele = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.analytics-ui-application")))
#ele is a web element so you can trigger .click, .text or any other web element methods on it.

Imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

As the elements are within an <iframe> so you have to:

Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"frame-router[activeclient='analyticsUi'] > iframe[sandbox]")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "css_clickable_element"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//frame-router[@activeclient='analyticsUi']/iframe[@sandbox]")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "xpath_clickable_element"))).click()

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
