Extract text from Wikipedia html using Python

问题

I am trying to look for a way to extract the main text of a Wikipedia article using python. I am aware of the "wikipedia" library, but in my case I already have downloaded the html page, and I just need to extract the text. I can't use that library because I need to use wikipedia page html that was downloaded some years ago so I can't download it from scratch.

Is there an "off the shelf" solution that I can use for this purpose?

回答1:

try BeautifulSoup:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

respond = requests.get("http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/StackOverflow")
soup = BeautifulSoup(respond.text)
l = soup.find_all('p')
print l[0].text

You can use this python module:

pip install wikipedia
