尝试仅打印“状态失败”，但Python正在打印所有内容

Question

I am looping through the HTML content of a web page and trying to print only strings with the substring "state failed". However, Python is printing every single string, even the ones that don't have the substring "state failed".

Here is my code:

soup = bs(html_page, 'lxml')
outF = open('C:/Users/ryans/OneDrive/Desktop/test.csv', 'w')
for link in soup.findAll('rect'):
    if "state failed" in link:
        if link.isoweekday() in range(1, 6):
            outF.write(str(link))
            outF.write('\n')   
outF.close()

Here is one that I would expect to be printed, and it is.

<rect class="state failed" data-original-title="Task_id: failure_cleanup&lt;br&gt;Run: 2018-12-22T04:00:00&lt;br&gt;Operator: CruxCleanupOperator&lt;br&gt;Started: 2018-12-24T18:34:39.149434&lt;br&gt;Ended: 2018-12-24T18:34:45.935977&lt;br&gt;Duration: 6.78654&lt;br&gt;State: failed&lt;br&gt;" data-toggle="tooltip" height="10" rx="0" ry="0" style="shape-rendering: crispedges; stroke-width: 1; stroke-opacity: 1;" title="" width="10" x="984" y="-5"></rect>

Here is one that I would expect NOT to be printed, but form some odd reason it is being printed.

<rect class="state success" data-original-title="Task_id: join_cleanup&lt;br&gt;Run: 2018-12-22T04:00:00&lt;br&gt;Operator: CompletionBranchOperator&lt;br&gt;Started: 2018-12-24T18:33:30.834983&lt;br&gt;Ended: 2018-12-24T18:33:33.037330&lt;br&gt;Duration: 2.20235&lt;br&gt;State: success&lt;br&gt;" data-toggle="tooltip" height="10" rx="0" ry="0" style="shape-rendering: crispedges; stroke-width: 1; stroke-opacity: 1;" title="" width="10" x="984" y="-5"></rect>

I tied all combinations with the single quotes, double, and even triple. It dodesn't matter. It prints everything, even the strings that don't contain "State failed". Any idea what's wrong here? Thanks.

Answer 1

Maybe you can try making the link into a string:

soup = bs(html_page, 'lxml')
outF = open('C:/Users/ryans/OneDrive/Desktop/test.csv', 'w')
for link in soup.findAll('rect'):
    if "state failed" in str(link):
        if link.isoweekday() in range(1, 6):
            outF.write(str(link))
            outF.write('\n')   
outF.close()

Then it should work.

Answer 2

Instead of if "state failed" in link: , replace it with if "state failed" is link.get('class') or if "state failed" == link.get('class') . I think you better go with is , since you may get None for link.get('class') is class attribute is not there.

You can also do it this way:

soup = bs(html_page, 'lxml')
outF = open('C:/Users/ryans/OneDrive/Desktop/test.csv', 'w')
for link in soup.findAll('rect', attrs={'class': 'state failed'}):
    if link.isoweekday() in range(1, 6):
        outF.write(str(link))
        outF.write('\n')   
outF.close()
