girl idk - trying to write the finance bot D:

a half ass introduction to web scraping with python, courtesy of RealPython.com and my digestive tract, which has chewed it up, partially digested the material, and am now going to make like Reva and spit it all back up for you baby :)) why cant i just be like ben(the kate moss of coding), NO FAIRR!



ok queen, first we are going import the module which has all the web functions, spec: url-open(), from url library
 		from urllib.request import urlopen
object is assigned to the url for easy accessing
	url = "http:qwerty_youGetThePoint.com"
pass url to urlopen()
	page = urlopen(url)
itll return a HTTP-Response object
	page <http.client.HTTPResponse object at *123someMemoryAddy456"

period
NOW TO EXTRACT HTML FROM THE PAGE
were gonna assign bytes to another variable(1), then we'll go on to decode it using UTF-8(2), the unicode conversion, meaning, the bytes are a string of numbers which represent the whole page's text and formatting of that text
(1)		html_bytes = page.read()
(2)		html = html_bytes.decode("utf-8")

hot, now html contains the webbpage's html!



now onto dataParsing: Reading files to filth


Opion 1 - the Slay of the Strings

were gonn use the .find() func, itll return the index of the first character in the argument in the func
	index = html.find("pussy")
	>> itll return the index of p, or -1 if not found at all,
she is case sensitive, she is also emotionally very sensitive, so watch your mouth..
