I agree, BeautifulSoup is wonderful. Here are snippets of
code that I recently used to locate (in each of many HTML
files) the table that contained a particular heading:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re
...
inlines = ifd.readlines()
soup = BeautifulSoup( " ".join( inlines ) )
x = soup.findAll( text = re.compile( "Technical Requirements - General" ) )
x = x[0].parent
while x.name != "table":
x = x.parent
tr_list = x.findAll( "tr", recursive = False )
print "Table has %d rows." % len( tr_list )
