'NoneType' object is not callable beautifulsoup error while using get_text

问题

I wrote this code for extracting all text from a web page:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2

soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib2.urlopen('http://www.pythonforbeginners.com').read())
print(soup.get_text())

The problem is I get this error:

print(soup.get_text())
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Any idea about how to solve this?

回答1:

The method is called soup.getText(), i.e. camelCased.

Why you get TypeError instead of AttributeError here is a mystery to me!

回答2:

As Markku suggests in the comments, I would recommend breaking your code up.

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2

URL = "http://www.pythonforbeginners.com"
page = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.pythonforbeginners.com')
html = page.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print(soup.get_text())

If it's still not working, throw in some print statements to see what's going on.

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2

URL = "http://www.pythonforbeginners.com"
print("URL is {} and its type is {}".format(URL,type(URL)))
page = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.pythonforbeginners.com')
print("Page is {} and its type is {}".format(page,type(page))
html = page.read()
print("html is {} and its type is {}".format(html,type(html))
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print("soup is {} and its type is {}".format(soup,type(soup))
print(soup.get_text())
