Beautiful Soup Description

Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away.Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom parser for each application.Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings, unless the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding.Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal stuff for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com", or "Find all the links of class externalLink", or "Find the table heading that's got bold text, then give me that text." What's New in This Release: · Fixed a small but annoying bug that caused BS to crash when presented with HTML that contained boolean attributes.
