Dear Experts

I am trying to scrape a lot of data from the European Parliament website for a research project. Ther first step is the create a list if all parliamentarians, however due to the many Eastern European names and the accents they use i get a lot of missing entries. Here is an example of what is giving me troubles (notice the accents at the end of the family name):

ANDRIKIENE, Laima Liucija
Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats)

So far I have been using PyParser and the following code:

parser_names

name = Word(alphanums + alphas8bit) begin, end = map(Suppress, "><") names = begin + ZeroOrMore(name) + "," + ZeroOrMore(name) + end

for name in names.searchString(page): print(name)

However this does not catch the name from the html above. Any advice in how to proceed?

Best, Thomas
