code

def getbullets(self, soup): bulletlist = [] bullets = str(soup.findall('div', {'class': 'productdescriptionwrapper'})) bullets_re = re.compile('<li>(.*)</li>') bullets_pat = str(re.findall(bullets_re, bullets)) index = bullets_pat.findall('</li>') print index

how extract p tags , li tags? thanks!

notice following:

>>> beautifulsoup import beautifulsoup >>> html = """ <what have above> """ >>> soup = beautifulsoup(html) >>> bullets = soup.findall('div', {'class': 'productdescriptionwrapper'}) >>> ptags = bullets[0].findall('p') >>> print ptags [<p>a worm worth getting hands dirty over. on 6 feet of crawl space, playhut&rsquo;s wiggly worm brightly colored , friendly play structure. </p>, <p><strong>intended indoor use</strong></p>] >>> print ptags[0].text worm worth getting hands dirty over. on 6 feet of crawl space, playhut&rsquo;s wiggly worm brightly colored , friendly play structure.

you can @ contents of li tags in similar manner.
