Hi Nilamo,
You were right there was some dynamic parts which were getting uploaded later on.

I was stuck on this issue from last 5 days. Thank you so much, at-least now I can move forward and do what I actually I want to do.

One last thing after adding time it is returning element and when I printing the result it is is giving below mentioned output

Output:DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:12985/devtools/browser/544d17ad-2741-48d2-ad29-6e1e4825f09b
sleep start
sleep end
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="8884bd8733422e9333cf859dab06bbf2", element="0.4768278162076718-1")>

what is meaning of last line in output

You printed the element. That's the element. Or, at least, Selenium's representation of the element.

That element has many methods.
Example the html:

<input name="EMAIL" size="24" maxlength="75" type="text">

Find it bye CSS:

email = browser.find_element_by_css_selector('#SubID > input[type="text"]')

Test:

>>> email
<selenium.webdriver.firefox.webelement.FirefoxWebElement (session="845a65d9-e7a7-4c17-9cdf-3086ac17d464", element="{f2f383ec-bc7a-461a-a84e-fab5a4bfcd04}")>
>>> email.tag_name
'input'
>>> email.send_keys('Foo')

So here using 2 method tag_name and send_keys which will send Foo to the input field in browser.
A good editor or REPL will show you all method that can be used,or can use dir(email).
