按照CSS类名搜索tag的功能非常实用,但标识CSS类名的关键字class在Python中是保留字,使用class做参数会导致语法错误.从Beautiful Soup的4.1.1版本开始,可以通过class_参数搜索有指定CSS类名的tag:
soup.find_all("a", class_="sister")
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
class_参数同样接受不同类型的过滤器,字符串,正则表达式,方法或True:
soup.find_all(class_=re.compile("itl"))
# [<p class="title"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>]
def has_six_characters(css_class):
return css_class is not None and len(css_class) == 6
soup.find_all(class_=has_six_characters)
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
tag的class属性是多值属性.按照CSS类名搜索tag时,可以分别搜索tag中的每个CSS类名:
css_soup = BeautifulSoup('<p class="body strikeout"></p>')
css_soup.find_all("p", class_="strikeout")
# [<p class="body strikeout"></p>]
css_soup.find_all("p", class_="body")
# [<p class="body strikeout"></p>]
搜索class属性时也可以通过CSS值完全匹配:
css_soup.find_all("p", class_="body strikeout")
# [<p class="body strikeout"></p>]
完全匹配class的值时,如果CSS类名的顺序与实际不符,将搜索不到结果:
soup.find_all("a", attrs={"class": "sister"})
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
