1.善于利用soup节点的parent属性

比如对于已经得到了如下html代码:




  
  

的soup变量eachMonthHeader了。

想要提取其中的

Month的label的值:November

和Year的label的值:2012

最简单,也是最省事的办法是,直接搜两个label,然后肯定会找到这两个label,然后分别对应着Month和Year的label,然后获得对应的string即可:

foundTwoLabel = eachMonthHeader.findAll(\"label\");
print \"foundTwoLabel=\",foundTwoLabel;
monthLabel = foundTwoLabel[0];
yearLabel = foundTwoLabel[1];
 
monthStr = monthLabel.string;
yearStr = yearLabel.string;
 
print \"monthStr=\",monthStr; # monthStr= November
print \"yearStr=\",yearStr; # yearStr= 2012

但是很明显,这样的逻辑性很不好,而且万一处理多个这样的soup变量,而且两者的顺便颠倒了,那么结果也就错误了。

此时,可以考虑利用soup变量的parent属性,从一个soup变量本身,获得其上一级的soup变量。
示例代码如下:

# 
# 
# 
  # 
  # 
# 
foundCboMonth = eachMonthHeader.find(\"input\", {\"id\":re.compile(\"cboMonth\\d+\")});
#print \"foundCboMonth=\",foundCboMonth;
tdMonth = foundCboMonth.parent;
#print \"tdMonth=\",tdMonth;
tdMonthLabel = tdMonth.label;
#print \"tdMonthLabel=\",tdMonthLabel;
monthStr = tdMonthLabel.string;
print \"monthStr=\",monthStr;
 
foundCboYear = eachMonthHeader.find(\"input\", {\"id\":re.compile(\"cboYear\\d+\")});
#print \"foundCboYear=\",foundCboYear;
tdYear = foundCboYear.parent;
#print \"tdYear=\",tdYear;
tdYearLabel = tdYear.label;
#print \"tdYearLabel=\",tdYearLabel;
yearStr = tdYearLabel.string;
print \"yearStr=\",yearStr;

我们再来看一个例子:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup 
doc = [\'Page title\',
    \'

This is paragraph one.\', \'

This is paragraph two.\', \'\'] soup = BeautifulSoup(\'\'.join(doc)) print soup.prettify() # # # # Page title # # # #

# This is paragraph # # one # # . #

#

# This is paragraph # # two # # . #

# #

这个例子中, Tag的parent是 Tag. Tag 的parent是BeautifulSoup 剖析对象自己。 剖析对象的parent是None. 利用parent,你可以向前遍历剖析树。

soup.head.parent.name
# u\'html\'
soup.head.parent.parent.__class__.__name__
# \'BeautifulSoup\'
soup.parent == None
# True

2.当解析非UTF-8或ASCII编码类型的HTML时,需要指定对应的字符编码

当html为ASCII或UTF-8编码时,可以不指定html字符编码,便可正确解析html为对应的soup:

#这里respHtml是ASCII或UTF-8编码,此时可以不指定编码类型,即可正确解析出对应的soup
soup = BeautifulSoup(respHtml);

当html为其他类型编码,比如GB2312的话,则需要指定相应的字符编码,BeautifulSoup才能正确解析出对应的soup:

比如:

#此处respHtml是GB2312编码的,所以要指定该编码类型,BeautifulSoup才能解析出对应的soup
htmlCharset = \"GB2312\";
soup = BeautifulSoup(respHtml, fromEncoding=htmlCharset);
