How to wait for the page to fully load using webbrowser method?

import webbrowser, sys, time
import pyautogui

print("Googling...")
googleSearch = "+".join(sys.argv[1:])

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    webbrowser.open_new_tab("https://google.com/?q=%s"%googleSearch)
    time.sleep(3)
    print("Enter button is pressed")
    pyautogui.typewrite(["enter"])
else:
    webbrowser.open_new_tab("https://www.google.com/")

This is a basic program to open a google search through the command prompt. Sometimes, the page takes a while to load and thus the enter button will be pressed before it's fully loaded. Using time.sleep() works most times when the loading takes a while but is there a more efficient way to do this? I know selenium has some explicit wait method but selenium takes a little long to open a page and it's a little impractical to open a google search on a new browser.

Maybe this help.

I use the logo to detect if the website is already loaded. But could be anything, a button, etc.

url = 'https://site'

webbrowser.open(url)

while True:
    logo = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('logo.png')
    if logo is not None:
        break

print logo

You could use the google search endpoint, so you don't need to click enter in the search box on the main page of google

safe_search = urllib.parse.quote_plus(search_term)
webbrowser.open_new_tab("https://google.com/search?q={}".format(safe_search)
