Before you give up try seeing the suggestion from Selenium IDE. Sometime just a seemingly innocuous change will make it work. Like this example I resolved today:

FAILED:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".modal-footer button.btn-primary.btn").click()

WORKS:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".modal-footer > button.btn-primary.btn").click()

Both returned True on is_element_present but the first one did not fire event when clicked with click().

Traceback (most recent call last):

isPresent = is_element_present(driver, By.CSS_SELECTOR, "article.notifier-log")
NameError: global name 'By' is not defined
[flemieux@atom makito]$ NameError: global name 'By' is not defined
bash: NameError:: command not found...

Solution:

Add this to the top of your file

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
