BeautifulSoup: Get the contents of a specific table

by

This is not the specific code you need, just a demo of how to work with BeautifulSoup. It finds the table who’s id is “Table1” and gets all of its tr elements.

html = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
bs = BeautifulSoup(html)
table = bs.find(lambda tag: tag.name=='table' and tag.has_attr('id') and tag['id']=="Table1") 
rows = table.findAll(lambda tag: tag.name=='tr')
