locating text in selenium using python

Question

there's an html code on a web page that I'm trying to automate, and one of the line goes something like this:

<"option value = "1">ABC<"/option>"

I am wondering if there are anyways to locate this without using the value, but locating it through text ABC. I have ABC stored under a variable, and I'm planning to pass that variable in.

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id("dropdown_menu"))
select.select_by_visible_text(abc_variable)

Keeps saying that it can't "locate element with visible text:ABC"
