Select option problem via Selenium - Unable to locate element error

I am new to Python and Selenium. I couldn't find how to select option on web page.
Website code Screenshoot of select tag
<div class="col-xs-6 middle">
<select class="form-control select-box hisse" size="1" id="MENKUL_NO" name="MENKUL_NO" style="display: none;">
<option value="" selected="">Seçiniz</option>
<option value="1368">ACSEL-ACIPAYAM SELÜLOZ</option>
<option value="207">ADEL-ADEL KALEMCILIK</option>
</select>
<div class="chosen-container chosen-container-single chosen-container-active chosen-with-drop" style="width: 429px;" title="" id="MENKUL_NO_chosen">
<a class="chosen-single" tabindex="-1">
<span>Seçiniz</span>
<div><b></b></div></a>
<div class="chosen-drop">
<div class="chosen-search">
<input type="text" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<ul class="chosen-results">
<li class="active-result result-selected highlighted" data-option-array-index="0" style="">Seçiniz</li>
<li class="active-result" data-option-array-index="1" style="">ACSEL-ACIPAYAM SELÜLOZ</li>
<li class="active-result" data-option-array-index="2" style="">ADEL-ADEL KALEMCILIK</li>
</ul></div></div></div>
I try this but doesn't find element Select(browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="MENKUL_NO"]')).select_by_value(1)

Try this
select_by_value("ADEL-ADEL KALEMCILIK") or
select_by_index(1)

I see that it is select and option tag in HTML. You can use the below code with Explicit wait.
select = Select(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "select[id='MENKUL_NO'][name='MENKUL_NO']"))))
select.select_by_visible_text('ACSEL-ACIPAYAM SELÜLOZ')
Imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

First, try a different locator for the main element, as even id may be not unique.
Afterwards, try finding by index.
locator = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[#class="form-control select-box hisse"]')
select = Select(locator)
select.select_by_index(1)
Also, try selecting by value:
select.select_by_value('1368')
Value is dropdown option value which is 1368 or 207. The first option does not have a value. If you want to select the first element, use select_by_index(1)
Or, use:
select.select_by_visible_text('Seçiniz')

I found there is a frame tag. that is why it couldnt find.
browser.switch_to_frame("ifr")
with this code. I accomplish my task.
Thank you all who responses

how to get the second value of the same class in selenium?

I am trying to simulate in selenium when two input types are left blank and when the input field gets unfocused it will return an invalid message. What I want to do is get both of this invalid message that has the same span classname.
Here is my python code:
fn_input = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[#name='fn']")
fn_input.send_keys('')
ln_input = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[#name='ln']")
ln_input.send_keys('')
driver.find_element_by_id('submit_search').click()
time.sleep(5)
fn_error_field = driver.find_element_by_class_name('formfield__message')
Above code works fine for finding the invalid message for fn_input. My question is how do I get the second invalid message for ln_input?
HTML:
<div class="formfield formfield--notification formfield--column-view">
<div class="formfield__label">First name</div>
<div class="formfield__input-wrapper">
<input
name="fn"
id="fn"
type="text"
class="input formfield__input"
value=""
/><span
class="formfield__icon-secondary icon-close icon-color-notification"
></span
><span class="formfield__message">Invalid field</span>
</div>
</div>
<div
class="formfield formfield--notification formfield--column-view capitalized"
>
<div class="formfield__label">Last Name</div>
<div class="formfield__input-wrapper">
<input
name="ln"
id="ln"
type="text"
class="input formfield__input"
value=""
/><span
class="formfield__icon-secondary icon-close icon-color-notification"
></span
><span class="formfield__message">Invalid field</span>
</div>
</div>
<button id="submit_search" type="button" class="button button--primary">
</i>submit
</button>

There are several ways to achieve this.
Collect your element use list with .find_elements_*:
elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('formfield__message')
#for second element
elements[1].text
Use following xpath with following-sibling:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#name="ln"]//following-sibling::span[#class="formfield__message"]')
XPath Axes

If you have locators with same name you need to use findelements in selenium
List<WebElement> Selects=driver.findElements(By.Xpath("//input[#name='ln']"));
// if you want select 2 nd element use below line
Selects.get(1).click();

How to uniquely identify xpath for multiple tags and multiple values

I have following html:
<div class=‘content active’>
<div>
<div class=‘var’>
<div class=‘field var-field’>
<label>Interface Name</label>
<div class=‘ui input’>
<input type=‘input’ placeholder=‘.*’ value> ==$0
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class=‘var’>
<div class=‘field var-field’>
<label>Neighbor Id</label>
<div class=‘ui input’>
<input type=‘input’ placeholder=‘.*’ value> ==$0
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need to send text to the text box with label: Interface Name.
Is there a way to uniquely write the xpath to send the text to the textbox.
Note that the only way to identify uniquely is wrt the label. The other fields in the tag is same for both.
I tried using AND operator. No luck.
Please help me out here.

Try this :
//label[text()='Interface Name']/following-sibling::div/child::input

To send text to the <input> element with respect to the <label> tag you can create a function as follows :
def test_me(myText):
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//label[.='" + myText + "']//following::div[1]/input").send_keys("hello")
Now, you can call this function from anywhere within your script as follows :
test_me("Interface Name")
# or
test_me("Neighbor Id")

You can use this XPATH :- //*[text()='Interface Name']/following-sibling::div/input"

Need help in writing XPATH for Selenium with Python

Below is the element in DOM.
<div style="float:left;width: 40px">
<label class="radio inline">
<input id="formData99991:Select" class="sample" data-ng-model="sampletId" size="" name="formData99991Select" sample-value="true" style="" value="1234" checked="checked" type="radio"/>
A
</label>
</div>
I tried with //input[contains(#id,'formData99991:Select') and contains(text(),'A')] but it doesn't work.
There are multiple similar elements on the web page and I need to identify each element with combo of id and text.

You can try with following x-path,
//label[contains(.,'A')]/input[#id="formData99991:Select"]

how to locate an element inside expanded list

I have a little problem. I am writing an automatic test, that has to go to webpage, enter some keys to search, then go to advanced search options, choose one from a list and search. The point is, that I have absolutely no idea on how to locate element on a list. It looks like this: http://www.e-podroznik.pl/public/searcherFinal.do. If you click on "więcej opcji" you'll se a list of options about journey. My question: how to locate element on this expanded "więcej opcji"-list using python selenium? I have tried everything, from find_element_by* to execute_script; nothing works. I get errors like 'unable to locate element', 'compound not permitted' etc.
The HTML:
<div class="advanced-searcher dNone more-options" style="display: block;">
<label class="lblDepartureArrival"></label>
<label class="lblRadio frmButtonFlat lblDeparture"></label>
<label class="lblRadio frmButtonFlat lblDeparture"></label>
<span class="lblOmmit"></span>
<label class="lblCaptionCarrierType"></label>
<label class="lblCarrierType lblCheckbox frmButtonFlat carrierType-bus"></label>
<label class="lblCarrierType lblCheckbox frmButtonFlat carrierType-rail"></label>
<label class="lblCarrierType lblCheckbox frmButtonFlat carrierType-aut"></label>
<label class="lblCarrierType lblCheckbox frmButtonFlat carrierType-city"></label>
<label class="lblCaptionJourneyMode"></label>
<span class=""></span>
<span class=""></span>
<span class=""></span>
<label class="lblSort">
<span class="fldCaption">
Sortuj według:
</span>
<span class="fldContainer">
<select id="sortTypeV_1399324651976" name="formCompositeSearchingResults.formCompositeSearcherFinalH.sortTypeV" style="display: none;">
<option selected="selected" value="departure"></option>
<option value="time"></option>
<option value="price"></option>
</select>
<span class="frmDropdown"></span>
</span>
</label>
<a class="lnkSwitchSearcherType" title="Wyszukiwarka zaawansowana" href="/public/searcher.do?method=task&advanced=false"></a>
</div>
I specifically need to expand list:
"<select id="sortTypeV_1399324651976" name="formCompositeSearchingResults.formCompositeSearcherFinalH.sortTypeV" style="display: none;">" and then click "<option value="time"></option>
This doesn't work:
def do_the_advanced_search(self):
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="frm_1399323992507"]/fieldset/div/div[2]/label[3]').click()
time.sleep(3)
neither this:
self.driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('sortTypeV_1399324651976').style=='display: inline block';")
Thanks for any help.

To expand the part that contains the dropdown, you can use this:
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a>span.imageSprite.sprite-label-left").click()
Then you can use execute_script to set the value:
self.driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('current').value = 'Najkrótszy czas';")
The select itself is hidden via style=display:none; so it cannot be manipulated directly.
