Selecting options from Auto Complete Dropdown using selenium web driver in python

I have to select options from a drop down on a page. I tried the below code but it is showing a syntax error. Can somebody help me with this?

web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
Select sel = new Select(x)
sel.select_by_value("Iphone")

I tries Web_element, WebElement too. But this is showing syntax error for the very first line.

web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
            ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You can use the following code block to select the option MUMBAI from the suggestions: def autocomplete_select_Submission(self, by, value, text, timeout=10): """Selects an option from an autocomplete dropdown by typing and choosing the first suggestion.""" input_field = WebDriverWait(self.driver, timeout).until( EC.visibility_of_element_located((by, value)) ) input_field.clear() input_field.send_keys(text) # Step 1: Enter text

    time.sleep(3)  # Increase time for dropdown to load

    # Wait until at least one suggestion appears
    suggestions = WebDriverWait(self.driver, timeout).until(
        EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "ui-menu-item"))
    )

    for suggestion in suggestions:
        print(f"Suggestion found: {suggestion.text}")  # Debugging
        if text.upper() in suggestion.text.upper():
            suggestion.click()
            print(f"Selected {text} from autocomplete")
            return

    # If no exact match, try arrow key + Enter
    input_field.send_keys(Keys.DOWN)
    input_field.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
    print(f"{value} updated with {text} using keyboard")

You can use the following code block to select the option Apple iPhone 6 128GB from the suggestions:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path= r"C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('https://tradein.vodafone.co.uk/#/topmodel')
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='txtSearchPhone']").send_keys("Apple iPhone 6 128GB")
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']")))
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//li[@class='ui-menu-item']/a[contains(@id, 'ui-id-')][text()='Apple iPhone 6 128GB']").click()

Python is a Dynamically typed language, you don't need to specify the type of the variable when you declare a variable.

a=10 creates a int and

name="hello world" creates a string

what you're typing is not valid Python. Are you looking at an actual Python example? 

## not valid Python code.
web_element x = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="txtSearchPhone"]')
Select sel = new Select(x)
sel.select_by_value("Iphone")

what you need to do is find the select box...

select_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="yourSelectBoxId"]')

than iterate your select box...

for i in select_box:
    if i.text == "some text":
        i.click();

Before all of that, you probably need to spend some time learning the Python language.
