Selecting a value from a drop-down option using selenium python

Question

I want to select a value from a drop-down option. The HTML is as follows:

<span id="searchTypeFormElementsStd">

    <label for="numReturnSelect"></label>

    <select id="numReturnSelect" name="numReturnSelect">

        <option value="200"></option>

        <option value="250"></option>

        <option value="500"></option>

        <option selected="" value="200"></option>

        <option value="800"></option>

        <option value="15000"></option>

        <option value="85000"></option>

    </select>

</span

I tried as follows:

find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='numReturnSelect']/option[text()='15000']").click()

What is wrong with it? Please help me with code!

Use this code:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui

import Select driver = webdriver.Ie(".\\IEDriverServer.exe") 

driver.get("https://test.com") select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("""//input[@name='n_name']""")) 

select.select_by_index(2) select.select_by_visible_text('Visible Text')

select.select_by_value('value')
