[TIP] What do people use as a wrapper around Selenium?

[Masiar, Peter (PMASIAR)]

I am far from Selenium expert but from my research: Experts advise to avoid mixing explicit and implicit waits (use explicit only).

https://blog.mozilla.org/webqa/2012/07/12/how-to-webdriverwait/

I solved it by writing a custom wrapper which uses explicit waits only. Stability of our tests improved, I hope partially by avoiding implicit waits.

Subject: [TIP] What do people use as a wrapper around Selenium?

I occasionally run into trouble with Selenium's behaviour, specifically due to implicit waits and automatic waits for page load.  In discussions with the selenium + mozilla devs, they often say  that they think this kind of "magic wait" ability is better left to "library authors", ie people building wrapper libraries, with selenium as a lower-level tool.
So, any experiences out there from people using Python wrappers around selenium?  Bonus points for Selenium 3 compatibility!
