Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out why my code won't output to
terminal, but will run just fine in interpreter.
I'm using python 2.7.3 on Debian Linux/Crunchbang.
Here is my code.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as beautiful
import sys
def dogeScrape(username, password):
payload = {'username': username, 'password': password}
r = requests.post("http://dogehouse.org/index.php?page=login";,
data=payload)
soup = beautiful(r.text)
confirmed = str(soup.findAll('span',{'class':'confirmed'}))
print "Confirmed account balance: " + confirmed[86:98]
dogeScrape("XXXX", "XXXX")
It will output the "confirmed....." part, just not the confirmed
variable. It will output the entire thing in the interpreter.
Good reminder for everyone: be explicit about behavior. We wasted an
iteration just to get this clarified.
The expression to be printed is the concatenation of "Confirmed account
balance: " with a slice of confirmed. Therefore confirmed is less that
86 characters (or the slice is blank), therefore no output appears.
Print the entire value of confirmed; that will tell us a lot.
