Thank you, @pallavigitwork for this code suggestion.

The support packages contain example code that many users find helpful, but they do not necessarily represent
the best practices for using Selenium, and the Selenium team is not currently merging changes to them.

After reviewing the change, unless it is a critical fix or a feature that is needed for Selenium
to work, we will likely close the PR.

We actively encourage people to add the wrapper and helper code that makes sense for them to their own frameworks.
If you have any questions, please contact us

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Possible Behavior Change Converting frame_reference to string in the NoSuchFrameException may alter error messaging/context; confirm this aligns with expected exception semantics and downstream handlers that might rely on the original type or message format. if isinstance(frame_reference, str): try: frame_reference = self._driver.find_element(By.ID, frame_reference) except NoSuchElementException: try: frame_reference = self._driver.find_element(By.NAME, frame_reference) except NoSuchElementException as exc: raise NoSuchFrameException(str(frame_reference)) from exc self._driver.execute(Command.SWITCH_TO_FRAME, {"id": frame_reference}) Selector Semantics Replacing By.CSS_SELECTOR with the string "css selector" in RelativeBy construction changes the key type; verify all consumers expect a string key and that enum-to-string conversion is consistent across codebase. if not tag_name: raise WebDriverException("tag_name can not be null") return RelativeBy({"css selector": tag_name}) def locate_with(by: ByType, using: str) -> "RelativeBy": """Start searching for relative objects your search criteria with By. API Compatibility Removing the By import may be fine, but ensure public API and type hints remain stable; validate that ByType is correct and available across supported Python versions and typing contexts. from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException from selenium.webdriver.common.by import ByType from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement
