beautifulsoup - Python with Beautiful Soup not looping through pages. -


hey guys first post. marketer (ewww) , new python please don't shoot me.

i learning through trial , error, hacking scripts one.

can tell me how loop through pages of website , print info each url? 

url = "http://example.com"  urls = [url] # stack of urls scrape visited = [url] # record of scraped urls htmltext = urllib.urlopen(urls[0]).read()   # while stack of urls greater 0, keep scraping links while len(urls) > 0: try:     htmltext = urllib.urlopen(urls[0]).read()  # except visited urls except:     print urls[0]  # , print information soup = beautifulsoup(htmltext, "lxml") urls.pop(0) info = soup.findall(['title', 'h1', 'h2', 'p']) script in soup("script"): soup.script.extract()  print info  # number of urls in stack print len(urls)  # append incomplete tags tag in soup.findall('a',href=true):     tag['href'] = urlparse.urljoin(url,tag['href'])     if url in tag['href'] , tag['href'] not in visited:         urls.append(tag['href'])         visited.append(tag['href'])

comments:

  • i see visited mentioned twice. in once instance, it's used list of urls, in other list of html elements. naughty.
  • in while loop each url solicited site , read htmltext barring exception. notice though that, each time through loop previous contents of htmltext overwritten , lost. beautifulsoup must called each time htmltext made available , soup beautifulsoup processed before soup created again.

following style write bare bones of code in way.

import requests import bs4  urls = ['url_1', 'url_2', 'url_3', 'url_4', 'url_5', 'url_6', 'url_7', 'url_8', 'url_9', 'url_10']  while urls:     url = urls.pop(0)     print (url)     try:         htmltext = requests.get(url).content     except:         print ('*** attempt open '+url+' failed')         continue     soup = bs4.beautifulsoup(htmltext, 'lxml')     title = soup.find('title')     print (title)
  • i use requests library rather urllib because makes life easier.
  • since use pop method of urls list remove items don't need keep record of visited urls. they're eliminated urls list becomes shorter , becomes empty.
  • while urls asks whether urls empty or not.
  • the main point of code shows how interrogating remote site , calling beautifulsoup in same loop spins through list urls.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
