I want to select an option from a select field using Selenium & Python.

The HTML is as follows:

<select autocomplete="off" class="style_input_item" name="AccountEnable" id="Enable" value="0" onchange="onPageDataChange()">
    <option value="0" selected="selected"><script>T("Disabled")</script>Disabled</option>
    <option value="1"><script>T("Enabled")</script>Enabled</option>
</select>

And I tried as follows:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="Enable"]/option[value="1"]').click()

I received that error:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="Enable"]/option[value="0"]"}

Just try:

mydriver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="Enable"]/option[@value="1"]').click()

or

mydriver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="Enable"]/option[2]').click()

Make sure you include Select:

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

then 

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('Enable'))
select.select_by_index(0)
