html parser

[tjnichols]

Hello - I'm working on the book "Web Scraping with Python" b Ryan Mitchell 2015.

I finally just decided to pick one and jump in so here I am. I've got the basics (I think). There is still much to learn I'm sure. Here's my current issue...

from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = urlopen("http://www.pythonscraping.com/pages/page1.html")
bsOb = BeautifulSoup(html.read())
print(bsObj.h1)

This is the error I get...

Warning (from warnings module):
File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 181
markup_type=markup_type))
UserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("html.parser"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

The code that caused this warning is on line 1 of the file <string>. To get rid of this warning, change code that looks like this:

BeautifulSoup(YOUR_MARKUP})

to this:

BeautifulSoup(YOUR_MARKUP, "html.parser")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\Web Scraping pg 8.py", line 5, in <module>
print(bsObj.h1)
NameError: name 'bsObj' is not defined


from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = urlopen("http://www.pythonscraping.com/pages/page1.html")
bsOb = BeautifulSoup(html.read, html.parser)
print(bsObj.h1)

This is the error I get...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\Web_Scraping_pg_8.py", line 4, in <module>
bsOb = BeautifulSoup(html.read, html.parser)
AttributeError: 'HTTPResponse' object has no attribute 'parser'

I think the reason I'm having the issue is because of the age of the book. Any help I can get would be most appreciated!

Thank you!!
