Beautiful Soup is a Python package for parsing HTML and XML documents (including having malformed markup, i.e. non-closed tags, so named after tag soup). It creates a parse tree for parsed pages that can be used to extract data from HTML, which is useful for web scraping.[1]
It is available for Python 2.6+ and Python 3.
Code example
# anchor extraction from html document
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
webpage = urllib2.urlopen('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page')
soup = BeautifulSoup(webpage,'html.parser')
for anchor in soup.find_all('a'):
print(anchor.get('href', '/'))
