Question

我正在尝试从<li>标记中提取日期并将其存储在Excel文件中。

<li>January 13, 1991: At least 40 people <a href ="......."> </a> </li>

代码：

import urllib2
import os 
from datetime import datetime
import re
os.environ["LANG"]="en_US.UTF-8"
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page1 = urllib2.urlopen("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_stampedes")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page1)
li =soup.find_all("li")
count = 0
while count < len(li):
   soup = BeautifulSoup(li[count])
   date_string, rest = soup.li.text.split(':', 1)
   print datetime.strptime(date_string, '%B %d, %Y').strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
   count+=1

错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\sony\Desktop\Trash\Crawler Try\trytest.py", line 13, in <module>
    soup =BeautifulSoup(li[count])
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 161, in __init__
    markup = markup.read()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
[Finished in 4.0s with exit code 1]

我不知道如何编写excel中提取的每个文本。没有包含代码。请参阅问题：Web crawler to extract in between the list

问题是 - 有不相关的li标签不包含您需要的数据。

更具体。例如，如果要获取“20世纪”的事件列表，首先找到标题并从其父级following ul sibling获取事件列表。此外，并非列表中的每个项目都具有%B %d, %Y格式的日期 - 您需要通过try/except块处理它：

import urllib2
from datetime import datetime
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


page1 = urllib2.urlopen("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_stampedes")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page1)

events = soup.find('span', id='20th_century').parent.find_next_sibling('ul')
for event in events.find_all('li'):
    try:
        date_string, rest = event.text.split(':', 1)
        print datetime.strptime(date_string, '%B %d, %Y').strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
    except ValueError:
        print event.text

打印：

19/09/1902
30/12/1903
11/01/1908
24/12/1913
23/10/1942
09/03/1946
1954 500-800 killed at Kumbha Mela, Allahabad.
01/01/1956
02/01/1971
03/12/1979
20/10/1982
29/05/1985
13/03/1988
20/08/1988

更新版本（获得一个世纪以下的所有ul组）：

events = soup.find('span', id='20th_century').parent.find_next_siblings()
for tag in events:
    if tag.name == 'h2':
        break
    for event in tag.find_all('li'):
        try:
            date_string, rest = event.text.split(':', 1)
            print datetime.strptime(date_string, '%B %d, %Y').strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
        except ValueError:
            print event.text
