This package tackles "soup", i.e. trees which are created by the well-known beautifulsoup4 package from parsed HTML or XML sources. It might be possible to accomplish the same by using lxml directly, but it might have been more difficult, and thus it is left to another package.

• spoons module, for tackling "soup", e.g.
  • has_any_class (a filter function to check for one of the given classes)
• forks module (named mainly for historical reasons; for poking around in the soup), e.g. extract_linktext, convert_dimension_styles
• ids module, for creation of new ids for HTML elements

  • id_factory:

    new_id = id_factory(...) id = new_id(prefix)

The modules are documented and tested by doctests. However, they currently don't fully work because of import problems; see the issue tracker.

Help is appreciated.

This add-on can be seen in action at the following sites:
