Python Selenium Webdriver - Try except loop

Question

I\'m trying to automate processes on a webpage that loads frame by frame. I\'m trying to set up a try-except loop which executes only after an element is confirmed

Answer 1

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

link = None
while not link:

        time.sleep(2)
