To select the option with text as Test you can use the following solution:

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@class='form' and @id='usergroup'][contains(@name,'group_option')]"))
select.select_by_value("Test")

Update

As you are still unable to select from the dropdown-list as an alternative you can induce WebDriverwait and use either of the following solutions:

  • Option A:

    select = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//select[@class='form' and @id='usergroup'][contains(@name,'group_option')]"))))
select.select_by_value("Test")

  • Option B:

    select = Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//select[@class='form' and @id='usergroup'][contains(@name,'group_option')]"))))
select.select_by_value("Test")

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('url')

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@id='usergroup']"))

# select by visible text
select.select_by_visible_text('Test')
 OR
# select by value 
select.select_by_value('Test')
