如何使用Selenium / python根据Excel工作表中给出的值从下拉列表中选择一个值

Question

I am currently learning to automate a web application which contains drop down.The thing is am able to select the the value from drop down by giving it directly in the xpath.Now i am trying to select a value from drop down based on the value given in the excel sheet rather than giving it directly.I dont know how to go about it .

Please find the sample HTML

<select class="parent" id="parent_name" name="parentId">                                      
  <option value="1">A</option>
  <option value="2">B</option>
  <option value="3">C</option>
  </select>

Please find the code i tried for drop down

dropdown=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[@class="parent"]//option[2]');
dropdown.click();

For selecting the value from excel for others thing like text box i am using the below code

driver = webdriver.Chrome  
driver.fullscreen_window();
driver.get('url');
time.sleep(5) 
Workbook=xlrd.open_workbook("excel path")
Details = Workbook.sheet_by_index(0);
city=Details .cell(1,0)
Citytextbox=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@id="city"]');
Citytextbox.send_keys(city.value);

What i am expecting is if i give value as "A" in excel,it should be able to select it from drop down rather than hard coding it am using spyder-python 3.7.

Update :Tried following two methods i facing the below issue .can you guide me on what the issue might be. The first method ,it seems noting is happening,code is running even with selecting the drop down and no error is shows.It seems it didn't come into code

 class test:
        def test(self):
           type=details.cell(1,13);
    dropdown=selected(self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[@class="parent"]')); 
               dropdown.select_by_value(str(type));
               time.sleep(5);

Second method :It it shows -module' object is not callable.Added import select as selected

type=details.cell(1,13);
dropdown=selected(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[@class="parent"]'));
dropdown.select_by_value(str(type));

When i try it by the above method i am getting this error TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

You will want to use the Select object . First of all pull the relevant value out of your Excel document (you'll need to tweak the below to target the relevant cell, I've provided an example based on your question):

Workbook = xlrd.open_workbook("excel path")
Details = Workbook.sheet_by_index(0);
selectValue = Details .cell(1,0)

Then you will need to use the value as shown below:

select = Select(self.driver.find_element_by_id("parent_name")) 
select.select_by_value(str(selectValue))
