Here's a little fragment of stuff I'm doing (not with Web2Py) using
Beautiful Soup:
f = codecs.open("path/myfilename",
encoding="ISO8859-1", mode="r")
soup = BeautifulSoup(f)
for x in soup.find_all("td", class_="element-title"):
if not x.contents[0]:
print "blowing up on %s" % x.name
while not isinstance(x.contents[0], NavigableString):
x = x.contents[0]
Note that I'm actually parsing HTML ("element-title" shows up in <TD>
nodes), but the general approach is the same. If you go with Beautiful
Soup, I think you'll find their tutorial is quite easy to follow. After
all, I was able to follow it, and come up with the above. The code that
follows this is essentially taking apart the text string I find in my
target node, so most of the rest of my code is Python string ops
(x.split(), etc).
I'm not familiar with the other suggestions, except that I think Beautiful
Soup builds on lxml.
