Re: Why doesn't input code return 'plants' as in 'Getting Started with Beautiful Soup' text (on page 30) ?
Dear Mark Lawrence, thank you for your advice.
I take it that I use the input you suggest for the line :
soup = BeautifulSoup("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecological_pyramid.html",lxml")
seeing as I have to give the file's full address I therefore have to modify
your :
soup = BeautifulSoup(ecological_pyramid,"lxml")
to :
soup = BeautifulSoup("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecological_pyramid," "lxml")
otherwise I get :
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html"."r")as
>>> ecological_pyramid:
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(ecological_pyramid,"lxml")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'ecological_pyramid' is not defined
so anyway with the input therefore as:
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html"."r")as
>>> ecological_pyramid:
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecological_pyramid,","lxml")
>>> producer_entries = soup.find("ul")
>>> print(producer_entries.li.div.string)
I still get the following output from the console:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'li'
>>>
As is probably evident, what is the problem Python has with finding the
required html code within the 'ecologicalpyramid' html file, or more
specifically why does it respond that the html file has no such attribute as
'li' ?
Incidentally I have installed all the xml, lxml, html, and html5 TreeBuilders/
Parsers. I am using lxml as that is the format specified in the text.
I may as well quote the text on the page in question in 'Getting Started with
Beautiful Soup':
'Since producers come as the first entry for the tag, we can use the find()
method, which normally searches fo ronly the first occurrance of a particular
tag in a BeautifulSoup object. We store this in producer_entries. The next line
prints the name of the first producer. From the previous HTML diagram we can
understand that the first producer is stored inside the first tag of the
first tag that immediately follows the first tag , as shown inthe
following code:
plants
10
So after running the preceding code, we will get plants, which is the first
producer, as the output.'

Python backreference replacing doesn't work as expected
There are two named groups in my pattern: myFlag and id, I want to add one more
myFlag immediately before group id.
Here is my current code:
## code begin
# i'm using Python 3.4.2
import re
import os
contents = b'''
xdlg::xdlg(x_app* pApp, CWnd* pParent)
: customized_dlg((UINT)0, pParent, pApp)
, m_pReaderApp(pApp)
, m_info(pApp)
{
}
'''
pattern = rb'(?P[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)::(?P=myFlag).+:.+(?P\(UINT\)0 *,)'
res = re.search(pattern, contents, re.DOTALL)
if None != res:
print(res.groups()) # the output is (b'xdlg', b'(UINT)0,')
# 'replPattern' becomes
b'(?P[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)::(?P=myFlag).+:.+((?P=myFlag)\\(UINT\\)0 *,)'
replPattern = pattern.replace(b'?P', b'(?P=myFlag)', re.DOTALL)
print(replPattern)
contents = re.sub(pattern, replPattern, contents)
print(contents)
# code end
The expected results should be:
xdlg::xdlg(x_app* pApp, CWnd* pParent)
: customized_dlg(xdlg(UINT)0, pParent, pApp)
, m_pReaderApp(pApp)
, m_info(pApp)
{
}
but now the result this the same with the original:
xdlg::xdlg(x_app* pApp, CWnd* pParent)
: customized_dlg((UINT)0, pParent, pApp)
, m_pReaderApp(pApp)
, m_info(pApp)

ecological_pyramid: soup = BeautifulSoup("C:\Beautiful
Soup\ecological_pyramid,","lxml") producer_entries = soup.find("ul")
print(producer_entries.li.div.string)
No. If you pass the filename beautiful soup will mistake it as the HTML. You
can verify that in the interactive interpreter:
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","lxml")
>>> soup
C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html
You have to pass an open file to BeautifulSoup, not a filename:
>>> with open("C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html","r") as f:
... soup = BeautifulSoup(f, "lxml")
...
However, if you look at the data returned by soup.find("ul") you'll see
>>> producer_entries = soup.find("ul")
>>> producer_entries
plants
10
algae
10
The first ... node does not contain a div
>>> producer_entries.li
and thus
>>> producer_entries.li.div is None
True
and the following error is expected with the given data.
Returning None is beautiful soup's way of indicating that the
node has no child at all. If you want to
process the first li that does have a child a straight-forward
way is to iterate over the children:
>>> for li in producer_entries.find_all("li"):
... if li.div is not None:
... print(li.div.string)
... break # remove if you want all, not just the first
...
plants
Taking a second look at the data you probably want the li nodes with
class="producerlist":
>>> for li in soup.find_all("li", attrs={"class": "producerlist"}):
... print(li.div.string)
...
plants
algae

Re: Why doesn't input code return 'plants' as in 'Getting Started with Beautiful Soup' text (on page 30) ?
Dear Peter Otten,
Incidentally, you have discovered a fault in that there is an erroneous
difference in my code of 'ecologicalpyramid.html' and that given in the text,
in the first few lines re:
plants
10
algae
10
plants
10
algae
10
I have removed the line to the right html code of the
lower
version. Now there is a string ("plants") between the <"li class producerlist">
and
Sorry about that.
However as you said, the input code as quoted in the text, still won't return
'plants'

You seem to run Python under Windows.
You have to take care of escape mechanism beyond \ char in string literals
(see Python docs).
By chance, \B and \e are not recognized as escape sequences, so they are
left as is. But \a \b \f \n \r \t \v \x will be processed differently
Double \ in your string:
"C:\\Beautiful Soup\\ecologicalpyramid.html"
Or use a raw string by prepending a r to disable escape sequences:
r"C:\Beautiful Soup\ecologicalpyramid.html"

That block of code (the 2 lines) contained a syntax (indentation)
