这是这个问题唯一的解决办法。在这里,我将把rowspan,colspan table更改为simple table。
我在这个问题上浪费了很多天,但没有找到简单而好的解决办法。在许多stackoverflow解决方案中,开发人员只抓取文本。但在我的例子中,我也需要url链接。所以,我写了这个代码。
这对我有用# this code written in beautifulsoup python3.5
# fetch one wikitable in html format with links from wikipedia
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import codecs
import os
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Agriculture_%26_Farmers_Welfare"
fullTable = '
rPage = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(rPage.content, "lxml")
table = soup.find("table", {"class": "wikitable"})
rows = table.findAll("tr")
row_lengths = [len(r.findAll(['th', 'td'])) for r in rows]
ncols = max(row_lengths)
nrows = len(rows)
# rows and cols convert list of list
for i in range(len(rows)):
rows[i]=rows[i].findAll(['th', 'td'])
# Header - colspan check in Header
for i in range(len(rows[0])):
col = rows[0][i]
if (col.get('colspan')):
cSpanLen = int(col.get('colspan'))
del col['colspan']
for k in range(1, cSpanLen):
rows[0].insert(i,col)
# rowspan check in full table
for i in range(len(rows)):
row = rows[i]
for j in range(len(row)):
col = row[j]
del col['style']
if (col.get('rowspan')):
rSpanLen = int(col.get('rowspan'))
del col['rowspan']
for k in range(1, rSpanLen):
rows[i+k].insert(j,col)
# create table again
for i in range(len(rows)):
row = rows[i]
fullTable += '
'for j in range(len(row)):
col = row[j]
rowStr=str(col)
fullTable += rowStr
fullTable += '
'fullTable += '
'# table links changed
fullTable = fullTable.replace('/wiki/', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/')
fullTable = fullTable.replace('\n', '')
fullTable = fullTable.replace('
', '')
# save file as a name of url
page=os.path.split(url)[1]
fname='outuput_{}.html'.format(page)
singleTable = codecs.open(fname, 'w', 'utf-8')
singleTable.write(fullTable)
# here we can start scraping in this table there rowspan and colspan table changed to simple table
soupTable = BeautifulSoup(fullTable, "lxml")
urlLinks = soupTable.findAll('a');
print(urlLinks)
# and so on .............
