Is it possible to do something like this in python:
I have a single 'span'
that I want to scrape.
I just want to simplify how I get the data, I will get an error if I convert the bs4 instance to text if it is None
. and in general it would be nice if python had some kind of functionality like this. :-)
note = x.text for event.find('span', {'class': 'header-3'}) as x if not None else ''
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
So far i solved my issue with bs4 by making a function that i can apply on all my bs4 instances:
get_text = lambda x: x.text.strip() if x is not None else ''
note = get_text(event.find('span', {'class': 'header-3'}))
But it would still be nice to know if there was a nice way like the one in my first codeblock.
