NotImplementedError: pseudo-class is not implemented - how to Update Python to solve

[apollo]

hello dear Python-experts,

first of all: many many thanks for this awesome forum: this is one of the best places for Python. I am glad to be part of this great forum.

on anaconda which runs on MX-Linux i have runned a parser and got back some errorlogs:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/martin/dev/europe_volun_with_pandas.py", line 57, in <module>
    soup.select_one('td:-soup-contains("Receiving") ~ td'),

    "'{}' pseudo-class is not implemented at this time".format(pseudo)

generally spoken: NotImplementedError: ':-soup-contains' pseudo-class is not implemented at this time
well i guess ( i suppose) that this error-log i get because i run older versions of python;

see what i have got at the moment - and yes: i guess i have to update python to be up to date - and to get rid of these errorlogs - is this true!?


see here the Anaconda system (version) and all the "ingredients" - like Python, VScode and Spyder... and its versions.

well - to avoid any issues (like the Nonimplemented-ones see above - i need to update python.
what do you say - !? How to update

at least python. Can i do this via commandline!?

i guess - i found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6160...ion-to-3-8

Step 1: First install the Ubuntu software properties package if it’s not already installed on your system.

$ sudo apt update

and

$ sudo apt install software-properties-common

Step 2: After that run the commands to add the PPA.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

Step 3: Finally, run below to install Python 3.8

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3.8

You can check as below:

$ python3 --version

see below what i have got back

$ python -m pip install pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (20.0.2)

$ python -m pip install –upgrade pip

i saw another method - here:

https://levelup.gitconnected.com/a-guide...ccb3eae31a

In LINUX, you may use the following commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3.9

Then, you can check your new and existing Python installation version as commands below:

sudo apt update gives back here the folllowing:

this is not about python version it's about soupsiеve and beautiful soup.
Also note that it may be specific to site you try to parse and soupsieve not handling it, eg. see
https://github.com/facelessuser/soupsieve/issues/215
