looking for a good tutorial for a HTML Parser

0 votes
474 views

I was looking for a good tutorial for a "HTML Parser". My intention was to extract tables from web pages or information from tables in web pages.

I tried to make a search, I got HTMLParser, BeautifulSoup, etc. HTMLParser works fine for me, but I am looking for a good tutorial to learn it nicely.

I could not use BeautifulSoup as I did not find an .exe file.

I am using Python 2.7 on Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit).

I am looking for a good tutorial for HTMLParser or any similar parser which have an .exe file for my environment and a good tutorial.

Take a read of the topic "Parsing, creating, and Manipulating HTML Documents" from chapter five of Text Processing in Python.

I believe that BeautifulSoup is a pure-Python module, and so does not have a .exe file. However, it does have good tutorials:

Why do you care about a .exe file? Most Python libraries are .py files.

Looking for a good tutorial for mongo db using mongoid.yml.

I am new to ruby on rails (using rails 4 and ruby 2.0.0) and I'm looking for a good tutorial for mongo db using mongoid.yml.

I found a few online, but they give only the basic steps. And I have done till that. ie. insert, query, etc from a mongo db database through the controller.

My basic question revolves around making a connection pool and using it. What changes to do it the mongoid.yml and how to (in java terms) getConnection from the controller???

Any help would be appreciated?

Generating HTML in python?

In Perl I had been using HTML::Element with great success, and now I would like to know if something similar exists for Python?

I would like to construct the complete page as a plain python structure and then feed it to a function to get a chunk of HTML ready to send to the client.

Something like: 

table_struct = [table, [tr, [td, {class=>"red"}, "this is red"],[td, {class=>"blue"}, "this is not red"]]]   
html = struct2html(table_struct)
