Beautiful Soup not returning results

Question

I am trying to parse a page with BS in python.

Here is my code:

years = range(2010,2021)

urls = []

for year in years:
    yr = str(year)
    url = 'https://www.spotrac.com/nba/contracts/breakdown/'+yr+'/'
    webpage = requests.get(url)
    content = webpage.content
    soup = BeautifulSoup(re.sub("<!--|-->","", content.decode('utf-8')),'lxml')
    a = soup.find('table',{'class':'datatable'})
    urls.append(a)

I am getting no results. I have double and triple checked the class of the table in the page source. I believe (though I think this is where the error is) - that I have properly coded the soup variable to account for the commented section of the page source.

Answer 1

str(range(2010,2021)) will produce a string 'range(2010, 2021)' . And then you iterate over each char of that string. So first value of year is r and so on.
