Dear Programmers, I want to access a html file on my C drive, in the Python 27 prompt, all the examples I come across seem to require for
access for the html file be on a server, rather than on the same computer's C drive. I want to do this as a prerequisite to writing webscraping code, surmising that if I can get the Python 27 prompt (inclusive of 'Beautiful Soup''Urllib' 'Requests' downloads ) to output pertinent html code from a html document, then I can proceed to use similar code to ouput html code from URL addresses, such as 'RacingPost.com' 'SportingLife.com''Oddschecker.com' and 'Bestbetting.com' which is what I am interested in working on. Hope you can help. Yours Simon Evans. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
