I have tried working with beautifulsoup but now i wanted to work on

Answer 1

I can't add comments but it might be helpful for someone else:

I had some bold and italic text within the tables cells so c.text returned None. I used c.text_content() instead like:

>>> from lxml.html import parse
>>> page = parse("test.html")
>>> rows = page.xpath("body/table")[0].findall("tr")
>>> data = list()
>>> for row in rows:
...     data.append([c.text_content() for c in row.getchildren()])
...
