Hi all, I'm new to both this forum and Python, and I've got a bit stuck trying to learn how to parse HTML.... here is my problem
I'm using a textbook that uses sgmllib.py for all its examples. I'm aware that sgmllib is not in the current release, however I want to get it to work, as I have python 2.5, and the text book uses it. So, the first example says to type something like (to test the sgmllib): python sgmllib.py "path/to/my/file.html" .... example (1) this doesn't work for me. I think I have figured out the problem - the error says "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/ Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'sgmllib.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" the problem is that this path is wrong. My sgmllib.py is in: "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python2.5/sgmllib.py" if I substitute this path for sgmllib.py in example (1), everything works fine. However, I don't want to do all that typing everytime I want to use sgmllib.py. So, I thought maybe the problem was with PYTHONPATH. I executed the following command: export PYTHONPATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.5/li/python2.5:$PYTHONPATH this seemed to work - no errors raised. However, when I retyped example (1), I got the same original error. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm working on max os x leopard.
