Make Selenium wait 10 seconds

Viewed 137258

Yes I know the question has been asked quite often but I still don't get it. I want to make Selenium wait, no matter what. I tried these methods

driver.set_page_load_timeout(30)
driver.implicitly_wait(90)
WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.set_script_timeout(30)

and other things but it does not work. I need selenium to wait 10 seconds. NO not until some element is loaded or whatever, just wait 10 seconds. I know there is this

try:
   element_present = EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'whatever'))
   WebDriverWait(driver, timeout).until(element_present)
except TimeoutException:
    print "Timed out waiting for page to load"

I do not want that.

If waiting for some seconds is to much (not achievable) for selenium, what other (python) library's/programs would be capable to achieve this task? With Javas Selenium it does not seem to be a problem...
