Selenium WebDriverWait() not available?

Hello, I'm running a python Actor on a page that has some dynamic content that loads slowly. I'm using 
WebDriverWait()
WebDriverWait()
 in my code that works outside of apify.

But when I run this code in apify I see this error message:

I don't see anything in the docs for Python, but I do see references to 
context.waitFor()
context.waitFor()
 which looks like JS.

Is this type of waiting only supported in JS?

2 things for <@&1092713625141137429> members today: 1. The Apify developer rewards program is open for registrations: https://apify.notion.site/developer-rewards This is the program where you will earn points for marketing activities. The rewards are still TBC, but the real purpose of the program is to help you structure your marketing activities and efforts. In the coming weeks, I will be populating that link with guides to help you identify the best ways to market your Actors, as well as scheduling workshops and office hours to help you create content and develop your own marketing strategy. 2. At 2PM CET (in about 80 minutes) there will be an office hour with the team behind Insights and Analytics, who want your feedback on how to improve analytics for you. Join us in https://discord.com/channels/801163717915574323/1430491198145167371 to share your ideas!
