import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait # available since 2.4.0

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get("http://www.google.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_name("q")

element.send_keys("Cheese!")

element.submit()

# Title is updated using AJAX...
print driver.title

try:
    # we have to wait for the page to refresh, the last thing that seems to be updated is the title
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(lambda driver : driver.title.lower().startswith("cheese!"))

    # You should see "cheese! - Google Search"
    print driver.title

finally:
    driver.quit()
