Am currently using windows handling for opening the map direction in the new window and after it opens i will be closing the child window, which is opened and do the remaming work in the code.But it is closing the whole browser, while debugging it is working correctly , but while running the code, am Getting the error as,

Error - selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchWindowException: Message: no such window: target window already closed

Down i have attached the code,

   ##Clicking on The Map Image
            self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/img[1]").click()
            ##Setting up an Window Handle to get the size.
            handels =self.driver.window_handles
            size = len(handels)
            """
            The Below For Loop, We are using For Handling The Mutilple Windows,
            Which are opened in the Browser.
            """

            for length in range(size):
                driver.switch_to.window(handels[length])
                print(self.driver.title)
                time.sleep(3)
                if length == 1:
                    driver.close()

Where i have done the error i dunno. please sort me out.

Try this code to close new window and switch back to main window

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Get current window
current = self.driver.current_window_handle
# Get current windows
handles = self.driver.window_handles
# Click button. Consider to use more reliable relative XPath instead of this absolute XPath
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/img[1]").click()
# Wait for new window
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.new_window_is_opened(handles))
# Switch to new window
self.driver.switch_to.window([w for w in self.driver.window_handles if w != current][0])
# Close new window
self.driver.close()
# Switch back to main window
self.driver.switch_to.window(current)
