Selenium Python For loop through HTML table I want to iterate the 1st row not all rows

Question

I am using a for loop to iterate over a HTML table. I only need to iterate the 1st row, not all of the rows.

My code snippet is below of my method:

    def is_historical_tasks_have_any_error_of_the_completed_process(self):
        try:
            table_id = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'operations_monitoring_tab_historical_tasks_ct_fields_body')))
            rows = table_id.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "tr")
        except NoSuchElementException, e:
            return False
        count = 1
        for row in rows:
            col_project_name = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[4] # This is the project name column
            col_name = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[10]
            col_status = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[18]
            col_last_start_time = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[19]
            col_last_end_time = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[20]
            col_notes = row.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "td")[21]
            print col_project_name.text
            print col_name.text
            print col_status.text
            print col_last_start_time.text
            print col_last_end_time.text
            print col_notes.text
            count = count + 1
            if col_notes.text == "": # If column Notes is not empty there was an error during the process, return false
                return True
            else:
                print "Error in process"
                print col_notes.text
                return False
            if count >= 1: # we want only the 1st row from the historical tasks.  Break out of the for loop when count is greater than 1
                break
        return False

The HTML is (I have removed some cols otherwise it will be too long to paste):

    
    
        
            
                
                    1
                
                
                    
                        
                    
                
                
                    
                        1
                    
                
                
                    
                        53
                    
                
                
                    
                        LADemo
                    
                
                
                    
                        Generate Stats
                    
                    
                        
                            Stats
                        
                    
                    
                        
                            11
                        
                    
                    
                        
                            Possible match stats
                        
                    
                    
                        
                            2015-10-28 16:10:40

At the line if count >= 1 it says code is not reachable. Where do I put this if count >=1? Or what is the correct way to iterate only the 1st row of the HTML table?

I was trying to use a count to keep track of the rows in the for loop.

Just use find_element instead of find_elements:

first_row = table_id.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "tr")
