[Tutor] Using Beautiful Soup to find an HTML element by its class attribute

indAll('tr', class="rs1") print weather_row The call to soup.findAll is failing because "class" is a reserved keyword in Python. Using BeautifulSoup, how can I find a specific table row whose only identifying attribute is its CSS class? Thanks. -- Regards, Sithembe

Re: [Tutor] Using Beautiful Soup to find an HTML element by its class attribute

Thanks all, I found the solution: using the attributes dictionary as follows: weather_row = soup.findAll('tr', { "class" : "rs1" }) Many thanks. On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 1:32 AM, Sithembewena Lloyd Dube wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am using urllib to scrape
