import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import csv
f = csv.writer(open(‘world-presidents.csv’, ‘w’)) f.writerow([‘S.No’, ‘Country’,‘President’,‘Prime-Minister’])
Collect and parse first page
page = requests.get(‘http://bankersdaily.in/list-of-current-prime-ministers-president-in-world-updated-till-may-2018-static-gk’) soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, ‘html.parser’)
Pull all text from the BodyText div
president_name_list = soup.find(class_=‘content’)
Pull text from all instances of <a> tag within BodyText div
president_name_list_items = president_name_list.find_all(‘td’) president_name_list = soup.find(class_=‘content’) president_name_list_items = president_name_list.find_all(‘td’)
Create for loop to print out all artists’ names
for president_name in president_name_list_items: names = president_name.contents[0]
f.writerow([names])
