body: <p>I am writing script using selenium python but there is problem i have tried to find solution but i can not find one that was helpful to me. here is the code </p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  import unittest
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  
  class sulekhastart(unittest.TestCase):
  
      def setUp(self):
          self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
  
      def test_parse_contact_urls_and_go_to_next_page(self):
  
          pagenumber = 'Page'
  
          #assign WEBDRIVER to local webdriver
          driver = self.driver
  
          #Website open by below url
          driver.get("http://www.sulekha.com/ac-dealers/bangalore")
          self.assertIn("Sulekha Bangalore", driver.title)
  
          #close the lightbox thnat appears at the firsttime load of page
          startlightbox = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[@class="lcf-close"]')
          startlightbox.click()
  
          while True:
  
              #get the page number
              pageno = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//li[@id="numberPage"]/strong')
              print pageno.text
              print pagenumber
  
              #check if page same as last page or not
              if str(pageno.text) != pagenumber:
  
                  pagenumber = str(pageno.text)
  
                  businessname = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//li/div/div[@class="busi-name"]/h3/a')
                  records = len(businessname)
  
                  #print all data that are available on the webpage
                  for i in range(0,records):
                      print businessname[i].get_attribute('href')
                      print businessname[i].text
  
                  nextpage = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//li[@id="nextPage"]')
                  nextpage.click()
              else:
                  print 'This is last page all data is scraped change url and get another data'
                  break
  
              element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until_not(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div/svg")))
  
      def tearDown(self):
          self.driver.close()
          print 'page not be closed'
  
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      unittest.main()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and i want to wait script after click on the next button until <code>By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div/svg"</code> this element gone from DOM or page source and then after wait until 3 seconds</p>
