  1. POIssues with BeautifulSoup parsing
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to parse an html page with BeautifulSoup, but it appears that BeautifulSoup doesn't like the html or that page at all. When I run the code below, the method prettify() returns me only the script block of the page (see below). Does anybody has an idea why it happens? </p> <pre><code>import urllib2 from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup url = "http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?catid=10607&amp;mfr=&amp;logon=&amp;langid=FR&amp;sort=0&amp;page=1" html = "".join(urllib2.urlopen(url).readlines()) print "-- HTML ------------------------------------------" print html print "-- BeautifulSoup ---------------------------------" print BeautifulSoup(html).prettify() </code></pre> <p>The is the output produced by BeautifulSoup.</p> <pre><code>-- BeautifulSoup --------------------------------- &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt; &lt;!-- function highlight(img) { document[img].src = "/marketing/sony/images/en/" + img + "_on.gif"; } function unhighlight(img) { document[img].src = "/marketing/sony/images/en/" + img + "_off.gif"; } //--&gt; &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>UPDATE: I am using the following version, which appears to be the latest.</p> <pre><code>__author__ = "Leonard Richardson (leonardr@segfault.org)" __version__ = "3.1.0.1" __copyright__ = "Copyright (c) 2004-2009 Leonard Richardson" __license__ = "New-style BSD" </code></pre>
