标签: python beautifulsoup

这是我的代码:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
import urllib2
url = "http://services.runescape.com/m=news/recruit-a-friend-for-free-membership-and-xp"
res = urllib2.urlopen(url)
soup = BS(res.read())
other_content = soup.find_all('div',{'class':'Content'})[0]
print other_content

然而出现了一个错误:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/bs4/builder/_htmlparser.py:149: RuntimeWarning: Python's built-in HTMLParser cannot parse the given document. This is not a bug in Beautiful Soup. The best solution is to install an external parser (lxml or html5lib), and use Beautiful Soup with that parser. See http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#installing-a-parser for help.

    self.builder.feed(self.markup)

我让其他两个人使用这个代码,它对他们非常好。为什么它不适合我?我安装了bs4 ......

根据错误消息,您可能需要做的一件事就是安装lxml,这将为BeautifulSoup提供更强大的解析引擎。有关更好的概述,请参阅文档中的this部分,但它可能适用于其他两个人的原因是他们安装了lxml(或另一个正确处理HTML的解析器),这意味着BeautifulSoup使用它而不是标准的内置(侧面注释:您的示例在我安装lxml的系统上也适用,但在没有它的情况下失败)。

另外,请参阅文档中的这条说明:

  

如果您使用的是早于2.7.3的Python 2版本或版本   在3.2.2之前的Python 3中,安装lxml至关重要   或html5lib-Python的内置HTML解析器不是很好   旧版本。

我建议运行sudo apt-get install python-lxml并查看问题是否仍然存在。
