python-在函数中创建列表

Question

I am trying to learn python and have the below script that works, but I want to use the results to create a list that I can call outside the function. When I print list the right results are produced. The print x does nothing.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib
import re

def hits_one_spider():
    #page = 1
    #while page <= max_pages:
        url = "http://www.siriusxm.ca/hits-1-weekend-countdown/"
        source_code = requests.get(url)
        plain_text = source_code.text
        soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text)
        for link in soup.find('div', {'class': 'entry-content'}).findAll('li'):
            #href = "http://www.siriusxm.ca/" + link.get('href')
            title = link.string
            #print(href)
            #print(title)
            return list

x = hits_one_spider()

print x

Answer 1

The problem is that you say return list in the for loop. Thus it returns after the first iteration. Further you aren't actually returning it as a list, by doing it like that.

What you instead what is something like this:

lst = []
for link in soup.find('div', {'class': 'entry-content'}).findAll('li'):
    lst.append(link.string)
return lst

Which results in returning (and printing) a list containing:

[
    "Sam Smith – Stay With Me",
    "Kongos – Come With Me Now",
    "Iggy Azalea – Fancy feat. Charli XCX",
    "OneRepublic – Love Runs Out",
    "Magic! – Rude",
    ... and a lot more ...
    "Oh Honey – Be Okay",
    "Katy Perry – Birthday",
    "Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend",
    "Cher Lloyd – Sirens",
]
