[Texas] Selenium question: self.browser.implicitly_wait()

All,

I could probably look this up in docs, but I'm teaching myself TDD (via the
ORA book, "TDD with Python"), and I've just used
*self.browser.implicitly_wait()* method from Selenium.

The argument I pass is time, in seconds. I may not be clear on how the
method works. Is that

   - the time the window *should* stay open, *or*
   - how long the window will stay open UNTIL the test runs?


So, if I used *self.browser.implicitly_wait(10), *in the first case, I'd
expect the window to be open 10 seconds. In the second case, I'd expect the
window to stay open *up to* 10 seconds, or as long as it takes for the test
to complete, whichever comes first.

Thanks,
Kojo
