BeautifulSoup get_text from find_all

Question

This is my first work with web scraping. So far I am able to navigate and find the part of the HTML I want. I can print it as well. The problem is printing only the text, which will not work. I get following error, when trying it: AttributeError: 'ResultSet' object has no attribute 'get_text'

Here my code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib

page = urllib.urlopen('some url')


soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
zeug = soup.find_all('div', attrs={'class': 'fm_linkeSpalte'}).get_text()


print zeug

Answer 1

find_all() returns an array of elements. You should go through all of them and select that one you are need. And than call get_text()

UPD
For example:

    for el in soup.find_all('div', attrs={'class': 'fm_linkeSpalte'}):
        print el.get_text()

But note that you may have more than one element.

Answer 2

Try for inside the list for getting the data, like this:

zeug = [x.get_text() for x in soup.find_all('div', attrs={'class': 'fm_linkeSpalte'})]

I would close this issue for being a duplicate and link you to another I found that answers this question but I don't think I have the reputation needed to moderate... So...

Original Answer

Code for this:

for el in soup.findAll('div', attrs={'class': 'fm_linkeSpalte'}):
    print ''.join(el.findAll(text=True))
