How to select a drop-down menu value with Selenium using Python?

Unless your click is firing some kind of ajax call to populate your list, you don’t actually need to execute the click.

Just find the element and then enumerate the options, selecting the option(s) you want.

Here is an example:

from selenium import webdriver
b = webdriver.Firefox()
b.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='element_name']/option[text()='option_text']").click()
