Script freezing when using wait in a for loop

I am having a python selenium script where I am trying to send messages to different users in Telegram.

To open any user's page we just need the user's username and we can load its chat page.

web = webdriver.Chrome()
web.get(TELEGRAM_WEB_HOMEPAGE)
nameList = get_active_name_list()
for name in nameList:
    web.get(USER_URL + name)
    web.implicitly_wait(2) #HERE IS THE WAIT
    elem = web.find_element_by_class_name('composer_rich_textarea')
    elem.click()
    elem.send_keys(MESSAGE)
    elem.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
    new_nameList.remove(name)

I also tried with time.sleep(2), in all cases the program freezes once it reaches the wait command. And I need to wait for the url of next user to load.

I also tried using WebDriverWait as mentioned here.

So, how to solve the problem?

Can you sum up your exact _Manual Steps_ along with the relevant _HTML_? – undetected Selenium Feb 18 '18 at 14:45
