Return splitted list from loop "while" Python, Selenium

Question

In my application, I have a table with users but the table can have more than 1 page with users. I want to get a list with all users in all pages with Selenium Webdriver Python. I have test function which goes to the first page, gets a list with all users then goes to the second page gets a list of users and until the pages no longer exist:

def test_users1(driver):
    login(driver, username="Admin", password="Password")
    while True:
         try:
            #gets list of elements
            userslist = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".even .odd")
            #goes to second page, third...etc.
            for i in range(1, 50):
                driver.find_element_by_link_text("%s" % i).click()
         except NoSuchElementException:
            break
         return (userslist)

I need to return split list with all users from all pages from my loop

add userslist += driver.find_element_by_link_text("%s" % i).click() if driver.find_element_by_link_text("%s" % i).click() returns the list of user — KETAN PATIL

Try use list extend method

def test_users1(driver):
    login(driver, username="Admin", password="Password")
    userslist = []
    while True:
        try:
            #gets list of elements
            userslist.extend(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".even .odd"))
            #goes to second page, third...etc.
            for i in range(1, 50):
                driver.find_element_by_link_text("%s" % i).click()
                userslist.extend(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".even .odd"))
                # Add new line here ^^^^
        except NoSuchElementException:
            break
    return (userslist)

may be this: assert (len(userslist) == YOUINT), "Wrong users list"

userslist = []
while True:
    try:

        userslist.extend(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("tbody tr"))
        #goes to second page, third...etc.
        for i in range(1, 50):
            driver.find_element_by_link_text("%s" % i).click()

def test_users1(driver):

@Bear Brown I found decision, thank you so much for help. stackoverflow.com/a/45394732/6939940

I'm glad to help a little.

@Bear Brown I'm sorry I thought it works but it doesn't, the algorithm is right but the lists don't splitting, always return result 50 which is from just 1 page

I add a new line to your algorithm try it: stackoverflow.com/questions/45392369/…
