line = line.strip() TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Question

I am trying to find all num\'s in a list from an html using beautifulsoup:

import urllib
from BeautifulSoup i         


        

Answer 1

That's because you are trying to run strip on the tag class within beautiful soup.

Change line 14 to:

 line = line.string.strip()

However be aware that this can still be None when the tag you are searching for has multiple sub elements. Seee link to string method on doco for beautiful soup
