Convert HTML into CSV

Question

I want to convert a HTML table as obtained from the script below into a CSV file, but got type error as follows:

TypeError: sequence item 0: expected

Answer 1

Use the csv module from Python to do this. You can obviously write more columns if you want, but the idea is that you're writing a list to the csv file. There are other options that you can specify in the writer() method if you'd like to quote things, escape things, etc.

import csv

with open('your_csv_name.csv', 'w') as o:
    w = csv.writer(o)
    # Headers
    w.writerow(['tr_content'])
    # Write the tr text
    for r in rows:
        w.writerow([r])
