Okay, so I just started to learn Python. I have been working through Dive Into Python 3 and the Google stuff (great exercises IMHO, totally fun). However, with Dive, I had an issue with him referencing the files in the example directory, which from the website seem very unhandy. Although I have since stumbled upon his GitHub, I made a Python script to grab those files for me and it works great, with the exception of doubling the line spacing. So here is my code. I hope you critique the heck out of my and that you point out what I did wrong to introduce double line-spacing. Thanks a bunch:
import os import urllib.request import re url_root = 'http://diveintopython3.ep.io/examples/' file_root = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "diveintopython3", "examples") main_page = urllib.request.urlopen(url_root).read() main_page = main_page.decode("utf-8") pattern = 'href="([^"].*?.)(py|xml)"' matches = re.findall(pattern, main_page) for my_tuple in matches: this_file = my_tuple[0] + my_tuple[1] data = urllib.request.urlopen(url_root + this_file).read() data = data.decode("utf-8") with open(os.path.join(file_root, this_file), mode='w', encoding='utf-8') as a_file: a_file.write(data) -- Mark :)
