What would be the Python Selenium WebDriver equivalent for setTimeout and setSpeed? I have following Selenium IDE code which returns an error when exported to Python/unittest/Webdriver code:

<tr>
       <td>setTimeout</td>
       <td>60000</td>
       <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
       <td>setSpeed</td>
       <td>0</td>
       <td></td>
</tr>

Exported Python/unittest/WebDriver code is as below:

 def test_sam(self):
        driver = self.driver
        # ERROR: Caught exception [ERROR: Unsupported command [setTimeout]]
        # ERROR: Caught exception [ERROR: Unsupported command [setSpeed]]
        .....

The same IDE code works for RC but not for WebDriver. Please help me regarding this.

    If I’m understanding your question correctly then I think the equivalent for setSpeed would be 

    driver = Driver()
driver.implicitly_wait(10) # The time that webdriver will wait for actions to happen before failing

    Something equivalent to set speed I have not come across. You can try removing it and seeing if you encounter any failures. In my experience all you need is the implicit wait.
