How to select option from a combobox in python selenium?

Question

I am trying to put value in a combo-box using python selenium. As we enter text it gives different possible values in dropdown. How to select the first value on the drop down? As soon as I try to click on it, it removes the text and makes it blank.

So, for example, I am sending the text Stockholms kommun, Stockholms län in the combobox by:

text = Stockholms kommun, Stockholms län
inputcity = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="price-calculator-address"]')
inputcity.send_keys(text)

However, I am not able to click (as shown in image-2) on the dropdown which appears as I enter the text.

Can anyone help me with it?

Trick is to enter the text and press Tab twice. Basically imitate the manual actions if it was to be done via human.

Try the below working code:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.hemnet.se/annonsera-bostad#priskalkylatorn")
driver.maximize_window()
# below line will accept cookies
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[text()='Jag samtycker']").click()
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@id='price-calculator-address']").send_keys("Stockholms kommun, Stockholms län")
time.sleep(3)
# below line will press TAB key 2 times
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@id='price-calculator-address']").send_keys(Keys.TAB + Keys.TAB)
