I have a code for chrome driver to extract data

I have a code like this:

def click_all_options(path):
    try: 
        for option in browser.find_elements_by_xpath(path):
            option.click()
        return True
    except StaleElementReferenceException: 
        return False

select1 = '/html/body/form[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/select/option'
select2 = '/html/body/form[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/select/option'

result = click_all_options(select1)
if not result:
        click_all_options(select2)

The problem is that this doesn't lead to a nested for loop. How can I tweak this to get a nested for loop?

@Guy I don't understand. It would be helpful if you post it as an answer. It will help others and I can upvote too – Mar 09 '20 at 06:11
I don't really know what the original question is so I can't post an answer, and even if I posted it as an answer it will be exactly the same as in the answer I linked in my first comment (look at alecxe's top voted one, not the accepted one). Look at it or google "selenium python select option from select dropdown". – Guy Mar 09 '20 at 06:16
@guy but there is no select option here. – Mar 09 '20 at 06:25
Yes there is, this is what you target in your xpath. – Guy Mar 09 '20 at 06:28
yes, but thats just a variable name – Mar 09 '20 at 06:40
I'm talking about the xpath. In `select1` and `select2`. It targets ` – Guy Mar 09 '20 at 06:42
@Guy what is your suggestion? – Mar 09 '20 at 18:44
