Hi - I'm trying to get started with BeautifulSoup on CentOS 6. I'm running
Python 2.6.6. I installed BeautifulSoup4 with pip and all seemed to be
working. I have a test page that I want to start with so I tried this:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(open('test.html'))
>>> print (soup.prettify())
Nothing comes out. So the I backed up and ran the first case right out of
the tutorial:
>>> html_doc = """
... <html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
...
... <p class="title"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
...
... <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and
their names were
... <a href="
http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
... <a href="
http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a>
and
... <a href="
http://example.com/tillie" class="sister"
id="link3">Tillie</a>;
... and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
...
... <p class="story">...</p>
... """
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc)
>>> print(soup.prettify())
Still nothing. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for your help.
