Finding Top Level Tags With BeautifulSoup
I have some BeautifulSoup I'm looking at. In this case, my tree looks like this:
soup = "<table class="myTable"><tr>...</tr></table>"
When I call the following:
soup.findAll(attrs={'class':'myTable'})
I don't have anything returned, when I would expect that top level tag to be returned. But if the tag I'm searching for isn't in the top level, like the following:
soup = "<body><table class="myTable"><tr>...</tr></table></body>"
Then I do find the table. I assume I'm missing 开发者_开发问答something obvious. If I'm not, is there a way to have find everything including the top level tag?
I can't reproduce the problem. I think finding the top-level tags should work:
In [92]: import BeautifulSoup
In [94]: soup=BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup('<table class="myTable"><tr>...</tr></table>')
In [95]: soup.findAll(attrs={'class':'myTable'})
Out[95]: [<table class="myTable"><tr>...</tr></table>]
