First, the code you posted at the link doesn't run. Its usually a good thing to post example code if your real code is large, and you can identify the problem. Instead you post a long example elsewhere that doesn't run. So as to what was wrong, you had improper indentation and some comments that weren't commented out. When I fixed those problems the code ran fine:
jcg@jcg:~$ python temp.py here ppp 436 Its hard to tell what you want to do in the bigger picture, but this probably isn't the right way to go. Many people use BeautifulSoup to parse html. And where did you find that HTML? Code like that should have died 19 years ago when CSS came on the seen. > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com/stats/birthdays _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
