Python 3 Programming Tutorial - Parsing Websites with re and urllib

From the creator

In this video, we use two of Python 3's standard library modules, re and urllib, to parse paragraph data from a website. As we saw, initially, when you use Python 3 and urllib to parse a website, you get all of the HTML data, like using "view source" on a web page. This HTML data is great if you are viewing via a browser, but is incredibly messy if you are viewing the raw source. For this reason, we need to build something that can sift through the mess and just pull the article data that we are interested in.
