Does selenium write and read the webelement values

Question

I am doing automation using Python2.7 and selenium first time. Now can I write and read as well the below HTML contents?

Radio Buttons

<form name="myWebForm" action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post">
<h4>Please select your favorite food category.</h4>
<input type="radio" name="food" /> : Italian<br />
<input type="radio" name="food" /> : Greek<br />
<input type="radio" name="food" /> : Chinese<br />
<h4>Please select your gender.</h4>
<input type="radio" name="gender" /> : Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="gender" /> : Female<br />
</form>

Single Select List

  <select size="3" name="selectionField" multiple="yes" > 
      <option value="CA" >California -- CA </option>
      <option value="CO" >Colorado -- CO</option>
      <option value="CN" >Connecticut -- CN</option>
    </select>

Defination List

<dl>
<dt>Coffee</dt>
<dd>- black hot drink</dd>
<dt>Milk</dt>
<dd>- white cold drink</dd>
</dl> 

CheckBoxes

<form name="myWebForm" action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post">
<p>Please select every sport that you play.</p>

Soccer: <input type="checkbox" name="sports" value="soccer"  /><br />

Football: <input type="checkbox" name="sports" value="football"  /><br /> 

Baseball: <input type="checkbox" name="sports" value="baseball"  /><br /> 

Basketball: <input type="checkbox" name="sports" value="basketball"  />

</form>

Answer 1

Yes, check into xpath

x = brower.select_element_by_xpath('//option[contains(text(), "CO"]')
x.text (print the div text) 
x.click() clicks the div

or just

brower.select_element_by_xpath('//option[contains(text(), "CO"]').click()

to read the list, this should work;

for i in browers.select_elements_by_xpath('//select[@name="selectionField"]//option'):
    print i.text

you can select list, radio buttons, span's whatever, just learn Xpath it's worth the effort.
