Selenium and Python

Question

How do I properly make it wait for a frame of a particular name to show up in python?

How do I make it wait for a website to load fully?

The documentation is vague to me and nothing seems to be working

Sleeps are usually not optimal because webpages may take longer than that to load fully. Also, sometimes you still want things to be as fast as possible (while fully loading). — WhatsInAName, Mar 23 '12 at 01:30

I had the same problem about waiting for an alert; I asked my question and the best answer that completely worked was this.

I think this is what you need, because you want to wait for a condition and sleep is not a good idea; you may wake too soon or too late.

The selenium page on Python pypi has this in its code example:

time.sleep(0.2) # Let the page load, will be added to the API

Assuming the code is up to date, it appears the functionality you want isn't yet available.
