How to make While work correctly if the object is not visible on the page (Python Selenium)?

Question

Python

Hello everyone, I wrote a code for Splinter Python:
Will execute browser.find_by_css('.u-decoration-none.next.pagination-links_anchor').click() - scroll the page until the element is found by XPATH, when it finds browser.find_by_xpath (XPATH).first.click() - will click on it.

with Browser('chrome', options=None, user_agent=None) as browser:
    while (browser.is_element_present_by_xpath(XPATH) == False):
        browser.find_by_css('.u-decoration-none.next.pagination-links_anchor').click()
        sleep(4)
    else:
        browser.find_by_xpath(XPATH).first.click()
        sleep(5)
    browser.quit()

Everything works fine if I use Splinter.
Thanks to the is_element_present_by_xpath method, I can check if False or True is present here. How can I do this in Selenium? I tried this, but it doesn't work:

XPATH = '//a[@href="/biz/college-pro"]'
account = driver.find_element_by_xpath(XPATH)
while (account.is_displayed() == False):
        driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.u-decoration-none.next.pagination-links_anchor').click()
        sleep(4)
    else:
        account.click()
        sleep(5)

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//a[@href="/biz/college-pro"]"}

P / S Yes, I want to rewrite everything in Selenium because it has a .location method that gives {'y': 5380.0, 'x': 617.0} in this form the coordinates that I really need and this method is not in Splinter (((
Guys plz tell me how to solve the problem

Answer 1

driver.implicitly_wait(5)  # говорим, чтобы драйвер не унывал, если не найдёт элемент сразу, и пробовал подождать, в течение 5 секунд
    while True:
        try:
            element = driver.find_element_by_xpath(XPATH)  
        except NoSuchElementException:
            driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.u-decoration-none.next.pagination-links_anchor').click()
        else:
            element.click()
            break

Works
