What does BeautifulSoup's .
content do? I am working through crummy.com's tutorial and I don't really understand what .
content does. I have looked at the forums and I have not seen any answers. Looking at the code below....
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re
doc = ['<html><head><title>Page title</title></head>',
'<body><p id="firstpara" align="center">This is paragraph <b>one</b>.',
'<p id="secondpara" align="blah">This is paragraph <b>two</b>.',
'</html>']
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(doc))
print soup.contents[0].contents[0].contents[0].contents[0].name
I would expect the last line of the code to print out 'body' instead of...
File "pe_ratio.py", line 29, in <module>
print soup.contents[0].contents[0].contents[0].contents[0].name
File "C:\Python27\lib\BeautifulSoup.py", line 473, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (self.__class__.__name__, attr)
AttributeError: 'NavigableString' object has no attribute 'name'
Is .
content only concerned with html, head and title? If, so why is that?
Thanks for the help in advance.
