The following script will pull data values from a wikiart page (an excellent index of paintings<\/a>) –<\/p>\n

\nimport glob\n\nindir = 'D:\\\\projects\\\\art\\\\'\nfor filename in glob.glob(indir + \"*.html\"):\n    print filename\n    spans = soup.select(\"span[itemprop]\")\n    ahrefs = soup.select(\"a[itemprop]\")\n    \n    file = open(filename, 'r')\n\n    soup = BeautifulSoup(file, 'html.parser')\n\n    spans = soup.select(\"span[itemprop]\")\n    arefs = soup.select(\"a[itemprop]\")\n    \n    [(v[\"itemprop\"], v.text) for v in spans + arefs]    \n<\/pre>\n
Since most of the data values are labelled, you get a data structure like so:<\/p>\n
