Hi to All, I need to write a "wrapper" between a web2py application and a php one. The php application is after a login form so I would like
1) get login form 2) parse login form 3) post username, password and data obtained in 2) 4) use web2py how a user could do using a browser This is the plan but I got stuck on 2) because of: >>> import requests >>> url = "http://www.google.com"; >>> page = requests.get(url) >>> page.status_code 200 >>> type(page.content) <type 'str'> >>> page_parsed = TAG(page.content) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> File "/Studio/web2py/gluon/html.py", line 1037, in __call__ return web2pyHTMLParser(decoder.decoder(html)).tree File "/Studio/web2py/gluon/decoder.py", line 74, in decoder return buffer.decode(encoding).encode('utf8') File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 6561: invalid continuation byte What is the better way to parse non ascii html strings using web2py tools? I know about beautiful soup but I'd rather have an slim python installation if I could. Thanks AP
