Mini-tutorial, Web Scraping with BeautifulSoup, tonight
A couple meetings ago, we talked about web scraping, and I offered to give a tutorial on how to scrape with the Python module BeautifulSoup. There was also interest in selenium, which I hadn't used at the time, but now I have so I could talk about that a little. Unfortunately it turns out I have another commitment tonight at 7. So what I'll do is try not to be late to the meeting at 5:30, and for half an hour I can give an introduction to HTML, the DOM and how to do simple scraping with BeautifulSoup. Then at the next meeting on Oct 28, if anyone has any questions about BeautifulSoup I can continue with that, and then if people are still interested in selenium, I can talk about that and about how you can use the two packages together. ...Akkana
I just realized the 7:00 meeting doesn't conflict with a 5:30-7 meeting. (Duh!) So I can hang out for the full meeting and maybe show a little selenium tonight too. I'm only a beginner at selenium, so I probably can't answer any advanced questions, but I can at least show how to get started. ...Akkana Akkana Peck writes:

NMGLUGers, Akkana, thank you. Let's give it a try. And you can cut out a little early to have a break between meetings. Let's see how it goes. Thank you on behalf of myself and the group for this effort. Ted P On Thu, Oct 14, 2021 at 4:47 PM Akkana Peck <akkana@shallowsky.com> wrote:
