How do I add BeautifulSoup to Python?

I'm working on a project where we extract text from a site that has some weird encoding/html that I have to work with.

The site is . When I try to parse it using BeautifulSoup it fails. If anyone can please help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. You need to ensure your server side code provides you the HTML in UTF-8 encoding. See also how does utf-8 encoding affect internet applications? Also, make sure you are not redirecting from your site and thus the content is not in UTF-8 encoding.

What is the use of BeautifulSoup in bs4 import?

I have a book.

This book contains images and video. I want to download these images and video from that book. After downloading I want to separate those files into some directories and want to write their names in some text files. I have written code like this. Import bs4. From urllib.request import urlopen from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup. With open("") as f: content = f.read() soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(content) print(soup.prettify()) for items in soup.select('div.pg-img'):
url = items.get('href') print(url). filename = 'abc.jpg' with open(filename, 'wb') as f: f.write(urlopen(url).read())
After running this code, I can download the images and video from that book. But I cannot understand the use of beautiful soup. Because I have to read the book and write images and video from the book to some directories. But in this code, I have to read the book from start to end. So my question is why should I use beautiful soup here. What is the use of beautiful soup in this code? As your code currently stands, the following is probably more or less what you're looking for: import requests. With requests.Session() as s: r = s.

But not this: import requests. R = requests.get(') soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content) soup.navigablehtml = False print soup.prettify() # . # . # . # . # . # . # . #
