Override functionality

[Vijay Verma]

Hi, 

I need to override the get_text in order to handle the hyper links. Here is the function that I have:

class MyBeautifulSoup(BeautifulSoup):

def _all_strings(self, strip=False, types=(NavigableString, CData)):

for descendant in self.descendants:

# return "a" string representation if we encounter it

if isinstance(descendant, Tag) and descendant.name == 'a':

yield str('<{}> '.format(descendant.get('href', '')))

# skip an inner text node inside "a"

if isinstance(descendant, NavigableString) and descendant.parent.name == 'a':

continue

# default behavior

if (

(types is None and not isinstance(descendant, NavigableString))

or

(types is not None and type(descendant) not in types)):

continue

if strip:

descendant = descendant.strip()

if len(descendant) == 0:

continue

yield descendant

Here is the error that I am getting:

File "convert.py", line 28, in _all_strings
    (types is not None and type(descendant) not in types)):
TypeError: argument of type 'object' is not iterable

Any leads will be much appreciated!
