I am currently trying to download the stock code. I am using Python
3.4 and the code is as follows:

for link in soup.find_all("a"):
stock_code = re.search('/d/d/d/d/d', "00001" )
print(stock_code, '', link.text)

I am trying to retrieve the stock code from here:
<td class="verd_black12" width="18%">00001</td>
or from a href.
Well it looks like you have all the needed libraries. You're doing a few things
wrong above. Firstly, to match a digit you need "\d", not "/d". Secondly, your
use of "re.search" searches the literal string "00001" instead of, presumably,
the value of link.text. Thirdly, the return from "re.search" is not a stock
code but a "match object"; I would not call it "stock_code" but
"stock_code_match". That will contain a reference to the stock code; since
your regexp matches the stock code then stock_code_match.group(0) will return
the actual matched text, the stock code.
Fix that stuff and see where you are.
