I'm trying to understand the HTMLParser so I've copied some code from
http://docs.python.org/library/htmlparser.html?highlight=html#HTMLParser and
tried that on my LinkedIn page.
No errors, but some of the tags seem to go missing for no apparent reason - any
advice?
I have searched extensively for this, but seem to be the only one with missing
data from HTMLParser :(
Code:
import urllib2
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
from GetHttpFileContents import getHttpFileContents
# create a subclass and override the handler methods
class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
print "Start tag:\n\t", tag
for attr in attrs:
print "\t\tattr:", attr
# end for attr in attrs:
#
def handle_endtag(self, tag):
print "End tag :\n\t", tag
#
def handle_data(self, data):
if data != '\n\n':
if data != '\n':
print "Data :\t\t", data
# end if 1
# end if 2
#
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
def removeHtmlFromFileContents():
TextOut = ''
parser = MyHTMLParser()
parser.feed(urllib2.urlopen('http://nl.linkedin.com/in/bobaalsma').read())
return TextOut
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
if __name__ == '__main__':
TextOut = removeHtmlFromFileContents()
Part of the output:
