Unable to enter value to input box with 'OnKeyPress' attribute - Selenium Python

Question

I want my code to enter value in the box below and move to the next page. I'm using selenium in Python to do this.

This is the HTML for the element.

<input name="ctl00$SPWebPartManager1$g_d6877ff2_42a8_4804_8802_6d49230dae8a$ctl00$txtPageNumber" type="text" value="260" maxlength="5" 
onchange="return ValidateNumber(this);setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$SPWebPartManager1$g_d6877ff2_42a8_4804_8802_6d49230dae8a$ctl00$txtPageNumber\',\'\')', 0)" 
onkeypress="if (WebForm_TextBoxKeyHandler(event) == false) 
return false;javascript:return isNumber(event);" id="ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_d6877ff2_42a8_4804_8802_6d49230dae8a_ctl00_txtPageNumber" 
onpaste="return false;" style="width:60px;">

This is my code. How should get this to perform 'onkeypress' function?:

for i in range (2,10307):  #looping over the page numbers
       wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_d6877ff2_42a8_4804_8802_6d49230dae8a_ctl00_txtPageNumber"))).send_keys(i)

after waiting for the element, since you need only the function onkeypress, try execute script.

driver.execute_script("if (WebForm_TextBoxKeyHandler(event) == false) return false;javascript:return isNumber(event);")

What I usually do is whatever the function, I just put it on the execute script, eg. I just copied whatever is on the keypress. I have played it around some time and I have found out that it is also useful to have a javascript code as per below (clicking the radio button to be always true): driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('someID').checked = true;")
