Python TypeError on regex [duplicate]

TypeError: can't use a string pattern
on a bytes-like object

what did i do wrong??

You used a string pattern on a bytes object. Use a bytes pattern instead:

linkregex = re.compile(b'<a\s*href=[\'|"](.*?)[\'"].*?>')
                       ^
            Add the b there, it makes it into a bytes object

(ps:

 >>> from disclaimer include dont_use_regexp_on_html
 "Use BeautifulSoup or lxml instead."

)
