Thanks, but that isn't working for me. Here's my code:
---------
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=43085";
page = urllib2.urlopen(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
daytemp = soup.find("div",id="curcondbox").findNext("span","b").renderContents()
print "Today's temperature in Worthington is: ", daytemp
---------
When I try this, I get this error:
HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 1516, column 60
Could someone suggest how to proceed?
Thanks.
CM
