Last Friday I was in Dallas for work, so tomorrow will be a BS development day. The story still needs to pass the Sumana "does this plot make basic sense" test, but I'm optimistic.īeautiful Soup work has mostly focused on trying to get easy_install to work, working around a Launchpad bug-I'm still not totally sure if it's working. I just finished "Four Kinds of Cargo", my first post-novel short story, so now I feel like I can write some other stuff.

My code-in-progress includes some code from html5lib, and I'm not sure how the licenses interact, but since html5lib is MIT licensed I think it's just a matter of adding some more boilerplate, so I'm not too worried about it.) I'll be pushing my progress to this branch. I'll probably have a beta release in a few months. I'll be spending alternate Fridays working on Beautiful Soup 4.

BEST TEXT EDITOR FOR PYTHON SOMETHINGAWFUL SOFTWARE

I'm just trying to stave off death for a library that's used in hundreds of software projects. I won't be redesigning the API (though I will be renaming the methods to conform with PEP 8) or even necessarily fixing bugs.

I still don't intend to work on Beautiful Soup on any regular basis.

I have written a generic SAX event handler, though I don't know if it will make it into the final release.

You can write your own code to plug some random parser into Beautiful Soup.

You can plug in html5lib instead and scrape really awful markup that no previous version of BS could handle.

If you use Beautiful Soup to scrape valid markup (we do this in the Launchpad test suite), you can plug in lxml and the parser will run much faster.

I don't know whether the initial release of BS4 will be ready to run under Python 3, but at least I'll see how to push it in that direction.

I have this working reasonably well for lxml and html5lib, which is why I'm comfortable announcing the project now. You will plug a parser into Beautiful Soup, and you'll get an object tree that reflects how that parser sees a document. So, Beautiful Soup has had the specter of death looming over it for two years.īeautiful Soup 4 will not be a parser at all. I tried to switch over in early 2009 and it just didn't work for anyone.

What's more, SGMLParser goes away in Python 3, and its replacement is awful at handling bad markup. Beautiful Soup's parser is no longer a competitive advantage. Here in 2011, html5lib is better at handling bad markup, and lxml and ElementTree are much faster if the markup isn't too bad. This was a really good parser back in 2005. The story so far: the most recent release of Beautiful Soup (3.2) uses a custom parser based on Python's standard-library SGMLParser. In 2011 I'll be coming out with a major new version of Beautiful Soup that will work with Python 3, but that won't have the problems of the failed 3.1 branch. I'm breaking my normal rule of not announcing projects until they're done, because I think it might help some people make plans if they know about this. Fri 16:45 A Project for 2011: Beautiful Soup 4:
