How to extract text between <h1> </h1> in Python?

I am delaying text extraction between <h1>

and </h1>

.

Please help me.

My code:

import bs4
import re
import urllib2

url2='http://www.flipkart.com/mobiles/pr?sid=tyy,4io&otracker=ch_vn_mobile_filter_Top%20Brands_All#jumpTo=0|20'
htmlf = urllib2.urlopen(url2)
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(htmlf)
#res=soup.findAll('div',attrs={'class':'product-unit'})
for res in soup.findAll('a',attrs={'class':'fk-display-block'}):
    suburl='http://www.flipkart.com/'+res.get('href')
    subhtml = urllib2.urlopen(suburl)
    subhtml = subhtml.read()
    subhtml = re.sub(r'\s\s+','',subhtml)
    subsoup=bs4.BeautifulSoup(subhtml)
    res2=subsoup.find('h1',attrs={'itemprop':'name'})
    if res2:
        print res2

      

Output:

<h1 itemprop="name">Moto G</h1>
<h1 itemprop="name">Moto E</h1>
<h1 itemprop="name">Moto E</h1>

      

But I want this:

Moto G
Moto E
Moto E

In any HTML tag, when executed, get_text()

yields the text associated with the tag. Thus, you just need to use get_text()

in res2. i.e.,

if res2:
    print res2.get_text()

      



PS . As a side note, I think this line subhtml = re.sub(r'\s\s+','',subhtml)

in your code is an expensive operation. If all you are doing is getting rid of the extra whitespace, you can do it with

if res2:
    print res2.get_text().strip()
