Hello,
Thanks for the replies, I have now installed ipython and will take the
time to explore each object further.
But I have one more question.
On each page I have several
<td class="order_tbl_price"><span
class="order_table_price_small">From</span> $32.66</td>
each with different price.
so, changing the code to use the findAll, returns a list:
>>> otp = soup.findAll('td', {'class': 'order_tbl_price'})
>>> otp
[<td class="order_tbl_price"><span class="order_table_price_small"
>From</span> $32.66</td>, <td class="order_tbl_price">$79.99</td>, <td
class="order_tbl_price">$39.99</td>, <td class="order_tbl_price"><span
class="order_table_price"><span class="order_table_price_small">1 Full
Pack - </span> $65.95
</span></td>]
>>>
>>>
>>> price = float(otp.contents[1].lstrip(' $'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'ResultSet' object has no attribute 'contents'
>>>
Even if I do a limit=1 as
>>> otp = soup.findAll('td', {'class': 'order_tbl_price'}, limit=1)
>>> otp
[<td class="order_tbl_price"><span class="order_table_price_small"
>From</span> $32.66</td>]
>>> price = float(otp.contents[1].lstrip(' $'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'ResultSet' object has no attribute 'contents'
then, i thought I would loop through this list:
>>> for x in otp:
... print x
...
<td class="order_tbl_price"><span class="order_table_price_small"
>From</span>$23.60</td>
<td class="order_tbl_price">$79.99</td>
<td class="order_tbl_price">$39.99</td>
<td class="order_tbl_price"><span class="order_table_price"><span
class="order_table_price_small">1 Blister Pack - </span> $65.95
</span></td>
>>>
And here I get stuck as to how to modify all the prices?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
David
