With 'fetch' you get a list of Tag objects, so there is that using: 

anchor = soup.fetch('a', {'href': '/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes'})
anchor[0].findNext('code') 

But with 'findChild' or 'first' you get only the first Tag that matches, so: 

anchor = soup.findChild('a', {'href': 
'/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes'})
anchor.findNext('code') 

Thanks for your help, Kent

are you sure that's what you got? Looks like an AttributeError to me - 
anchor is a *list* of anchors. Try
anchor[0].findNext('code')

Solution _there is that using findChild instead of fetch_: 

anchor = soup.findChild('a', 
dict(href="/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes")) 

print anchor.findNext('code')

anchor.findNext('code') fails: 

anchor = soup.fetch('a', {'href': '/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes'})
print anchor 

 [Calling code] 

anchor.findNext('code')
[]

You just have to find some kind of ad hoc search that gets you to where 
you want to be. I would try something like this:

anchor = soup.fetch('a', dict(href="/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes"))

code = anchor.findNext('code')
print code.string

Presumably you want this to work for other country pages as well; you 
will have to look at the source, see what they have in common and search 
on that.

[Tutor] using BeautifulSoup

2006-03-27 Thread jonasmg 
Hi! 

I'm trying to use BeautifulSoup for get data from a table (on right) from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states 

i.e. i would get data from 'Calling code' that it would be '+1' 

 -- 

import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup 

url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states";
html = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup()
soup.feed(html) 

mainTable = soup.first('table')
rows = mainTable('tr') 


any help here? 

Thanks in advance
