Question

I want to extract:

• text from following src of the image tag and
• text of the anchor tag which is inside the div class data

Answer 1

All the above answers really help me to construct my answer, because of this I voted for all the answers that other users put it out: But I finally put together my own answer to exact problem I was dealing with:

As question clearly defined I had to access some of the siblings and its children in a dom structure: This solution will iterate over the images in the dom structure and construct image name using product title and save the image to the local directory.

import urlparse
from urllib2 import urlopen
from urllib import urlretrieve
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as bs
import requests

def getImages(url):
    #Download the images
    r = requests.get(url)
    html = r.text
    soup = bs(html)
    output_folder = '~/amazon'
    #extracting the images that in div(s)
    for div in soup.findAll('div', attrs={'class':'image'}):
        modified_file_name = None
        try:
            #getting the data div using findNext
            nextDiv =  div.findNext('div', attrs={'class':'data'})
            #use findNext again on previous object to get to the anchor tag
            fileName = nextDiv.findNext('a').text
            modified_file_name = fileName.replace(' ','-') + '.jpg'
        except TypeError:
            print 'skip'
        imageUrl = div.find('img')['src']
        outputPath = os.path.join(output_folder, modified_file_name)
        urlretrieve(imageUrl, outputPath)

if __name__=='__main__':
    url = r'http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Adigital+camera&keywords=digital+camera&ie=UTF8&qid=1343600585'
    getImages(url)
