Why can't I scrape Amazon by BeautifulSoup?

Question

Here is my python code:

import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.amazon.com/")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
pr         


        

Answer 1

You can try this:

import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.amazon.com/")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
print soup

In python arbitrary text is called a string and it must be enclosed in quotes(" ").
