Re: getting title, desciption for webpages

Scripsit रवींदर à¤*ाकà¥�र (ravinder thakur):

i am trying to find some generic way of getting the title and
description of webpages [...] i will be doing this in python.

Try googling with words like
python html parse

The first hit I got is

which might suit your needs.

It's probably easier to write two good HTML parsers than to decide which
of them is better. But for extracting the <title> element and the <meta>
element with name="description", any good or half-good parser should do.
Just make sure you recognize the tag and attribute names and the value
"description" in a case-sensitive manner and do not change the case of
anything in the title and description you extract (unless you really
want to).
