How to find a element after a search click checkbox in selenium Python

Question

After I search for a user in the search field, I get the user I searched Now I need to select this user that shown in the list

I tried with xpath and did not find the element ! could you help ?

So after I search for that user I need to click the first result checkbox

what I tried:

self.browser.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[4]/main[1]/div[3]/div[2]/section[3]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]").click()

WebDriverWait(self.browser, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@class,'azc-grid-cellContent') and(contains(text(),'{}'))]".format(email)))).click()

Edit: Added a new photo

Your xpath is absolute xpath which is brittle. please share HTML in text format — cruisepandey

please ask developer to add custom attributes, if your elements are like this. soon you will get disappoint on automation. add attribute like <div auto="checkbox">. this is the best way of doing automation. — Jayanth Bala

In case you need to click on the first presented result please try this:

WebDriverWait(self.browser, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//tr[@aria-rowindex='1']//div[@data-bind]"))).click()

I'm not sure about this.
Need to see the actual web page with the dev tools for better suggestion...
