What are waits in Python?

Hi Dipen,

Waits in Python are mechanisms used to delay the execution of code for a specified amount of time, often used in web automation and testing to wait for elements to load.

In Python, waits are used for synchronization in concurrent programming. They allow one thread to wait until a certain condition is true before proceeding. This can be useful for coordinating actions between multiple threads or processes.

Waits in Python can also be used to implement timeouts. This means that if a certain condition is not met within a specified amount of time, the code will stop waiting and proceed with a predefined action. This can be helpful in scenarios where waiting indefinitely is not desirable.
