First of all the data in the html is already structured as a table.
You really want to keep that structure instead of reconstructing it from the
individual cells:
for row in table:
write cells in row
Then you have to decide on the columns
> print('Arriving From', 'Airline', 'Scheduled to arrive','Latest
> Update','Status')
and I guess they are what you print above. Once you have the data creating
the csv is easy, Python includes a module for it. So:
import csv, sys
[...]
writer = csv.writer(sys.stdout)
writer.writerow([
'Arriving From',
'Airline',
'Scheduled to arrive', 'Latest Update', 'Status'
])
[table] = soup.find_all("table")
for row in table.find_all("tr"):
writer.writerow(
[td.string.strip() for td in row.find_all("td")]
)
To write to a file instead of stdout pass the writer a file
with open("flight.csv", "w") as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
...
