Well you open the file and create a writer but you don't write anything. You
need this part
[table] = soup.find_all("table")
for row in table.find_all("tr"):
writer.writerow(
[td.string.strip() for td in row.find_all("td")]
)
inside the with-suite, too.
If you are interested in learning Python, you may put it into a function and
invoke it twice, with the writer writing to stdout and the writer writing to
the file.
