How do I convert lines of text into HTML links using python?
Question
The code saves a list of URLs. I want to take the lines of text and covert them to links within an HTML file by adding the A tags and place those links within properly formatted HTML code.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import os
import shutil
try:
from googlesearch import search
except ImportError:
print("No module named 'google' found")
#keyword query user input
query = raw_input('Enter keyword or keywords to search: ')
#print results from search into a file called keyword.txt
with open("keyword.txt","w+") as f:
for j in search(query, tld='co.in', lang='en', num=10, start=0, stop=200, pause=3):
f.write("%s\n" % j)
f.close()
#add keyword to list of keywords file
sys.stdout=open("keywords","a+")
print (query)
sys.stdout.close()
#rename file to reflect query input
os.rename('keyword.txt',query + ".txt")
#move created data file to proper directory and cleanup mess
source = os.listdir("/home/user/search/")
destination = "/home/user/search/index/"
for files in source:
if files.endswith(".txt"):
shutil.copy(files,destination)
os.remove(query + ".txt")
Expected results would be an HTML file with clickable links

Based on your comment, it appears that you are struggling to write the url string obtained from the search function into a file along with the required HTML tags. Try:
with open("keyword.txt","w+") as f:
for j in search(query, tld='co.in', lang='en', num=10, start=0, stop=200, pause=3):
f.write('<a href="{0}">{1}</a> <br>\n'.format(j,j))
Which will write each url and add hyperlinks to the url. You might want to print <html> ... </html> and <body> ... </body> tags as well to keyword.txt . This can be done like
with open("keyword.txt","w+") as f:
f.write('<html> \n <body> \n')
for j in search(query, tld='co.in', lang='en', num=10, start=0, stop=200, pause=3):
f.write('<a href="{0}">{1}</a> <br>\n'.format(j,j))
f.write('\n</body> \n </html>')
And, you don't have to close the file using f.close() if you use with open see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8011836/937153
Personally, I prefer format over % . I will be careful about presenting a comparison between the two here. You can see Python string formatting: % vs. .format for a detailed discussion on this topic.
