I\'m looking for an HTML Parser module for Python that can help me get the tags in the form of Python lists/dictionaries/objects.

If I have a document of the form:

    I guess what you're looking for is pyquery:

    pyquery: a jquery-like library for python.

    An example of what you want may be like:

    from pyquery import PyQuery    
    html = # Your HTML CODE
    pq = PyQuery(html)
    tag = pq('div#id') # or     tag = pq('div.class')
    print tag.text()
    

    And it uses the same selectors as Firefox's or Chrome's inspect element. For example:

    the element selector is 'div#mw-head.noprint'

    The inspected element selector is 'div#mw-head.noprint'. So in pyquery, you just need to pass this selector:

    pq('div#mw-head.noprint')

    Here you can read more about different HTML parsers in Python and their performance. Even though the article is a bit dated it still gives you a good overview.

    Python HTML parser performance

    I'd recommend BeautifulSoup even though it isn't built in. Just because it's so easy to work with for those kinds of tasks. Eg:

    import urllib2
    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
    
    page = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com/')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
    
    x = soup.body.find('div', attrs={'class' : 'container'}).text

    I recommend lxml for parsing HTML. See "Parsing HTML" (on the lxml site).

    In my experience Beautiful Soup messes up on some complex HTML. I believe that is because Beautiful Soup is not a parser, rather a very good string analyzer.

    I would use EHP

    https://github.com/iogf/ehp

    Here it is:

    from ehp import *
    
    doc = '''<html>
    <head>Heading</head>
    <body attr1='val1'>
        <div class='container'>
            <div id='class'>Something here</div>
            <div>Something else</div>
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    '''
    
    html = Html()
    dom = html.feed(doc)
    for ind in dom.find('div', ('class', 'container')):
        print ind.text()
    

    Output:

    Something here
    Something else

    I recommend using justext library:

    https://github.com/miso-belica/jusText

    Usage: Python2:

    import requests
    import justext
    
    response = requests.get("http://planet.python.org/")
    paragraphs = justext.justext(response.content, justext.get_stoplist("English"))
    for paragraph in paragraphs:
        print paragraph.text
    

    Python3:

    import requests
    import justext
    
    response = requests.get("http://bbc.com/")
    paragraphs = justext.justext(response.content, justext.get_stoplist("English"))
    for paragraph in paragraphs:
        print (paragraph.text)

    Compared to the other parser libraries lxml is extremely fast:

    • http://blog.dispatched.ch/2010/08/16/beautifulsoup-vs-lxml-performance/
    • http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2008/03/python-html-parser-performance.html

    And with cssselect it’s quite easy to use for scraping HTML pages too:

    from lxml.html import parse
    doc = parse('http://www.google.com').getroot()
    for div in doc.cssselect('a'):
        print '%s: %s' % (div.text_content(), div.get('href'))
