python - Importing selenium exception from local library causes exception handling to fail

Question

I have a selenium script that uses a try/except clause to check if there exists some text on a webpage, and if not, continue with the rest of the script. The statement in question looks like this:

try:
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'The system cannot process your request')]")
    except common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException:
        timeout = False

This works fine, only when selenium is imported like so: from selenium import common. However, with selenium installed to a lib folder in the root of the script's location: from lib.selenium import common. The exception handling fails! All of my other packages are imported from this lib folder, with absolutely no issues. This is the only problematic package. Any help would be much appreciated.
