Beautifulsoup Python nested text -

-

i wanted obtain text "some text" nested within tags this:

<tr>    <td>cme globex</td>    <td colspan="4">    text    <a target="_blank"" href="http://...>view rollover dates</a>    </td> </tr>

i .findall('tr') first, some_tr.findall('td', colspan=4) second , some_td.find(text=true). there more efficient way this? there way keep traversing through tags , find text?

you can use xpath expressions using lxml:

html = """<tr>    <td>cme globex</td>    <td colspan="4">    text    <a target="_blank"" href="http://...">view rollover dates</a>    </td> </tr>"""  import lxml.html  tree = lxml.html.fromstring(html) print tree.xpath('//tr/td[@colspan="4"]/text()')

not you're after...

another way maybe find anchor links "view rollover dates" , take preceding element...

from bs4 import beautifulsoup soup = beautifulsoup(html) in soup.find_all('a', text='view rollover dates'):     print a.previous_element

when save object, got below error must non-abstract type public parameterless constructor in order use parameter 't' in generic type or method 'servicestack.redis.redisclient.store<t>(t) redisclass.getinstnace().store(msg); // error here redisclass.getinstnace().save(); as third party's class, can not edit how save object? could create wrapper around third party object call constructor, store wrapper? e.g. public class mywrapper { public thirdpartyobject thirdpartyinstance { get; set; } public mywrapper() { thirdpartyinstance = new thirdpartyobject("constructors"); } }

time series - R growth rate calculation week over week on daily timeseries data -

-
i'm trying calculate w/w growth rates entirely in r. use excel, or preprocess ruby, that's not point. data.frame example date gpv type 1 2013-04-01 12900 office 2 2013-04-02 16232 office 3 2013-04-03 10035 office i want factored 'type' , need wrap date type column weeks. , calculate week on week growth. i think need ddply group week - custom function determines if date in given week or not? then, after that, use diff , find growth b/w weeks divided previous week. then i'll plot week/week growths, or use data.frame export it. this closed had same useful ideas. update: answer ggplot: all same below, use instead of plot ggplot(data.frame(week=seq(length(gr)), gr), aes(x=week,y=gr*100)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method='loess') + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(.95, 10.05)) + scale_x_discrete() + ggtitle('week on week growth rate, apr 1') + ylab('growth rate %') (old, correct answer using plot) w...
