beautifulsoup - Is there a shorter syntax than soup.select("#visitor_stats")[0]? -
i'm using beautifulsoup (import bs4) read information web page. several lines in script like
stats = soup.select("#visitor_stats")[0] is there shorter syntax this?
select() lets select bunch of html tag elements based on css properties (like id , class). in case looking html tag elements css id property set visitor_stats. , selecting first element returned list.
the beautifulsoup method find() returns first occurrence of search criteria. list index [0] can gotten rid of using find()
stats = soup.find(attrs={'id':'visitor_stats'}) but not sure if shorter :)
