Listing select option values with Selenium and Python

import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
import selenium.webdriver.support.ui as UI
import contextlib

with contextlib.closing(webdriver.Firefox()) as driver:
    driver.get(url)
    select = UI.Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[@name="countries"]'))
    for option in select.options:
        print(option.text, option.get_attribute('value'))  

prints

(u'--SELECT COUNTRY--', u'-1')
(u'New Zealand', u'459')
(u'USA', u'100')
(u'UK', u'300')

I learned this here. See also the docs.

check it out, here is how i did it before i knew what the Select Module did

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
#code to get you to the page

select_box = browser.find_element_by_name("countries") 
# if your select_box has a name.. why use xpath?..... 
# this step could use either xpath or name, but name is sooo much easier.

options = [x for x in select_box.find_elements_by_tag_name("option")]
# this part is cool, because it searches the elements contained inside of select_box 
# and then adds them to the list options if they have the tag name "options"

for element in options:
    print(element.get_attribute("value"))
    # or append to list or whatever you want here

outputs like this

-1
459
100
300
