Hello,
I have the script below, which it extracts NOAA data from HTML and is planed
writes it to a CSV file. Here is the script:
import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from time import localtime, strftime
import csv
#This script is intended to retrive NOAA data and apend it to a csv file.
# Wait 45 min
#Need to work on this part...
# Go into URL
page = urllib2.urlopen("http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/PAFA.html";)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
datemonth=strftime("%m", localtime())
dateday=strftime("%d", localtime())
with open("/home/eyalak/Documents/weather/weather.csv", "wb") as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
table = soup.findAll("table")[3]
#print table
for tr in table.findAll("tr", valign="top"):
a={x.string for x in tr.findAll('td')}
print str(a)
writer.writerows([a])
It did not work unless I changed the line a={x.string for x in
tr.findAll('td')} to a=list({x.string for x in tr.findAll('td')})
But that disorganizes the data. How can I write the data to a csv file without
altering the order prior to the list function.
Thanks
E
