Make Selenium choose specific Dropdown menu PYTHON3

Question

I need Selenium to choose menu with VALUE that I obtained from crawling. Here is the portion of HTML code of Dropdown menu:

<select class="graySelect" name="sch_bub_nm" id="sch_bub_nm" 
title="Case Number" onchange="onChangeBub();">
<option value="000100">Case1</option>
<option value="000200">Case2</option>
<option value="000201">Case3</option>
.
.
.

Here is the code I wrote so far:

def MenuChoose():
   driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#sch_bub_nm').click()
   driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id="sch_bub_nm"]/option[1]")

As you can see, I tried to choose the menu, and I got stuck as xpath showed no value that I can direct code to.

You need to create a select element in order to interact with it.

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#sch_bub_nm'))
select.select_by_index(1)  # Choose the position you want

Check the selenium-python documentation to see more options for select.

I'm guessing both of the comment works, but it looks like I have to select iframe that contains dropdown menu within webpage first for this to work. Thanks anyways!

You should use Select to get the dropdown value. I have given 3 options to select value.

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
select=Select(driver.find_element_by_id("sch_bub_nm"))
select.select_by_index(1) #select index value
select.select_by_visible_text("Case2") # select visible text
select.select_by_value("000201") # Select option value

Let me know if this work.
