As per the HTML to print list of months present in dropdown you can use the following solution:

selectmonth = Select(driver.find_element_by_name('fromMonth'))
for option in selectmonth.options:
    print(option.text)

This will help:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

url='' //of webpage

driver.maximize_window()

driver.get(url)

listofelements=driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,'//*[@name="fromMonth"]/option') //to take all elements matching xpath

for i in range(len(listofelements)):
    print(listofelements[i].text) //print all elements of list

I think its "November" instead of "Noenter code herevember"

In JAVA you can use like this, You can apply the same logic in Python

//locate select drop down
WebElement monthsElement = driver.findElement(By.name("fromMonth"));

// use select class
Select monthsDrop = new Select(monthsElement);

//store the list all months in list using getOptions()
List<WebElement> allmonths = monthsDrop.getOptions();

//traverse and print all elements
for (WebElement tempmonth : allmonths) {
    System.out.println(tempmonth.getText());
}

This looks perfect since the dropdown element user shared has 'select' tag. However, you may want to port it to Python as per user's request.

dropdown_data = driver.findElement(By.xpath("Xpath of the dropdown"))

# which selects the dropdown

for i in range len(dropdown_data):
    print(dropdown_data[i].text)

This doesn't look like valid Python. // should probably be #, the for statement will give a syntax error. If your intent was for i in range(len(dropdown_data)), it won't work either, because i will be an integer, so you can't do i.text.
