Select a dropdown using Python + Selenium - python-3.x

Question

I am writing an automation for work and am stuck with a dropdown. The particular select box in question is as follows:
<span class="a-dropdown-container" id="select-size-bulk-asin">
<select name="display_type" class="a-native-dropdown">
<option value="SMALL-IMAGES">SMALL-IMAGES</option>
<option value="LARGE-IMAGES">LARGE-IMAGES</option>
<option value="TEXT">TEXT</option>
</select>
<span tabindex="-1" data-a-class="a-spacing-small" class="a-button a-button-dropdown a-spacing-small">
<span class="a-button-inner">
<span class="a-button-text a-declarative" data-action="a-dropdown-button" aria-haspopup="true" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-pressed="false" aria-owns="2_dropdown_combobox">
<span class="a-dropdown-prompt">SMALL-IMAGES</span>
</span>
<i class="a-icon a-icon-dropdown"></i>
</span>
</span>
</span>
It defaults to 'SMALL Images' and I would like to select the 'TEXT' option. I am receiving element not clickable error. The page is simple and the element is visible on the screen.
The list of methods I did try are:
Used WebDriverWait to wait for the element to be visible;
Used WebDriverWait to wait for the element to be clickable;
Used the select class to set the selected option;
I also read through a question.
I am thinking if I should just go to the next element and send Shift+Tabs until I reach this drop down and then down arrow keys. But would like to use that only as the last resort.
NOTE:
- I am using Python 3 and Chrome.

You can try this code to select value from drop down :
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('select-size-bulk-asin'))
select.select_by_visible_text('TEXT')
However,as you have mentioned you are receiving element not clickable exception. you can try this code :
WebDriverWait(browser, 30).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "select-size-bulk-asin")))
As a last resort you can go ahead with :
drop_down= driver.find_element_by_id("select-size-bulk-asin")
drop_down.click()
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN)
actions.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN)
actions.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
actions.perform()
