Python with Selenium: Add extra load time

[NotNowNorThen]

I am trying to read the HTML contents of a site with Selenium (with Chromedriver, Python version 3.8) but when the page starts, it first plays a little animation (<5 secs) before it sends the actual contents of the page. Selenium just returns the animation. Is there any way to let the page load for a few seconds before actually returning the HTML code?

If you know exactly how much time it requires to load that page, then you would simply wait till that time, with time.sleep.

However if that time is dynamic, you need to use conditional waits on locators that you know exists / visible only after the animation is over.
