You would get this error if you have a <tr> that doesn't have an <hr id="dealName">. Do you have some <tr> that are not products? If so you need to filter them out somehow. Or have you misspelled something? Your sample data has id="foodName" not "dealName". You might do better with an incremental development. Start with for row in bs('tr'): print row and expand from there. At each step use print statements to make sure you are finding the data you expect. Kent if i however chnage row to incident in "for incident in > bs('tr'):" i then get mytuples printed out nicely but once again get a > long list of > > [('pizza;','pizza hut;', '3.94;')] > [('pizza;','pizza hut;', '3.94;')] > > > for row in bs('tr'): > data=[] > for incident in row('h2', {'id' : 'dealName'}): > productlist = [] > for oText in incident.fetchText( oRE): > productlist.append(oText.strip() + ';') > product = ''.join(productlist) > > for incident in row('a', {'name' : 'D0L3'}): > storelist = [] > for oText in incident.fetchText( oRE): > storelist.append(oText.strip() + ';') > store = ''.join(storelist) > > tuple = (product, store, price) > data.append(tuple) > print data > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
