title: How do I use Selenium's wait?
body: <p>I'm having trouble on figuring out how to use Selenium's wait function. What I'm trying to do is check to see if a element is present and if it is then it'll print a statement. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
  
  browser = webdriver.Firefox()
  browser.get("http://google.com")
  delay = 3 # seconds
  try:
      WebDriverWait(browser, delay).until(EC.presence_of_element_located(browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="hplogo"]')))
      print ("Page is ready!")
  except TimeoutException:
      print ("Loading took too much time!")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The current code gives me the following errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/John/Documents/waitTest.py", line 10, in &lt;module&gt;
