如何在Python中从HTML页面提取URLs

Question

我需要用Python写一个网络爬虫。我不知道怎么解析网页并从HTML中提取链接。我应该去哪里学习，才能写出这样的程序呢？

换句话说，有没有一个简单的Python程序可以作为通用网络爬虫的模板？理想情况下，这个程序应该使用一些比较简单的模块，并且每行代码都要有很多注释，说明它在做什么。

Answer 1

import sys
import re
import urllib2
import urlparse
tocrawl = set(["http://www.facebook.com/"])
crawled = set([])
keywordregex = re.compile('<meta\sname=["\']keywords["\']\scontent=["\'](.*?)["\']\s/>')
linkregex = re.compile('<a\s*href=[\'|"](.*?)[\'"].*?>')

while 1:
    try:
        crawling = tocrawl.pop()
        print crawling
    except KeyError:
        raise StopIteration
    url = urlparse.urlparse(crawling)
    try:
        response = urllib2.urlopen(crawling)
    except:
        continue
    msg = response.read()
    startPos = msg.find('<title>')
    if startPos != -1:
        endPos = msg.find('</title>', startPos+7)
        if endPos != -1:
            title = msg[startPos+7:endPos]
            print title
    keywordlist = keywordregex.findall(msg)
    if len(keywordlist) > 0:
        keywordlist = keywordlist[0]
        keywordlist = keywordlist.split(", ")
        print keywordlist
    links = linkregex.findall(msg)
    crawled.add(crawling)
    for link in (links.pop(0) for _ in xrange(len(links))):
        if link.startswith('/'):
            link = 'http://' + url[1] + link
        elif link.startswith('#'):
            link = 'http://' + url[1] + url[2] + link
        elif not link.startswith('http'):
            link = 'http://' + url[1] + '/' + link
        if link not in crawled:
            tocrawl.add(link)

你可以使用BeautifulSoup，很多人也提到过这个工具。它可以解析HTML、XML等格式的文件。如果你想了解它的一些功能，可以查看这里。

示例：

import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'http://www.google.co.in/'

conn = urllib2.urlopen(url)
html = conn.read()

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
links = soup.find_all('a')

for tag in links:
    link = tag.get('href',None)
    if link is not None:
        print link

看看下面的示例代码。这段脚本会提取一个网页的HTML代码（这里是Python的主页），并从中找出所有的链接。希望这对你有帮助。

#!/usr/bin/env python

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://www.python.org"
response = requests.get(url)
# parse html
page = str(BeautifulSoup(response.content))


def getURL(page):
    """

    :param page: html of web page (here: Python home page) 
    :return: urls in that page 
    """
    start_link = page.find("a href")
    if start_link == -1:
        return None, 0
    start_quote = page.find('"', start_link)
    end_quote = page.find('"', start_quote + 1)
    url = page[start_quote + 1: end_quote]
    return url, end_quote

while True:
    url, n = getURL(page)
    page = page[n:]
    if url:
        print(url)
    else:
        break

输出结果：
