Wait for image to disappear by using pyautogui

Question

In using pyautogui to check if an image is not part of the screen, I tried below:

a = True
while a is True:
    a = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('image.png')
print ("No this image.')

It doesn't seem work well.

What's the proper way to do so? Thank you.

From the [documentation](https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/screenshot.html#the-locate-functions): "`locateOnScreen(image, grayscale=False)` Returns (left, top, width, height) coordinate of first found instance of the `image` on the screen. Raises `ImageNotFoundException` if not found on the screen." However, from your code, it seems like you are expecting it to return a `bool`. — Miguel Alorda, Jun 20 '20 at 17:22

Putting it a for loop to continuosly check the presence of the image, once it disappeared, quit the loop.

for _ in range(100):
    time.sleep(1)
    a = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('image.png')
    if a == None:
        print('No this image.')
        break
