try-except around FindElement fails (Python)

melanieKno in order for community members to provide the best solutions to your specific issue, in most cases, we need to analyze your code to determine what can be improved. Also remember that others with similar issues and varying skillsets may be referencing this post for a similar issue - so community responses are often written to cater to a larger audience and in a way that attempts to clearly define the inner workings of the problem and answer.

That being said, it sounds like you'll need to add some extra logic within your try catch when you attempt to look for the object. I would suggest reviewing the documentation [here], as there are several methods of approach - IE: check the object's current state, check if it exists, wait for certain property values or state changes, etc.
