I absolutely need an helper for html scraping.

I'm looking at parsedom, but I cannot find it in the repository.
I'd like to use beautiful soap, but ... how can I include this in my plugin deployment? [and development...] ?

beautiful soup is in the official repo, so just include it in the depends section in your addon.xml

Aside from that, I use regex and it's pretty simple once you get the hand of it

I would also suggest using BeatifulSoup (3).

To use it in your add-on you first need to add it as dependency: Add this to the requirements section in your addon.xml:

PHP Code:

<import addon="script.module.beautifulsoup" version="3.0.8"/> 


Then you can import and use it:

PHP Code:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup 


Keep in mind that XBMC only resolves dependencies when an add-on gets installed - if you just add it to your addon.xml (without installing it) it doesnt get installed, just install any other add-on which has the same dependency.

.. could be my environment the problem? I'm using xbmc on windows 8.1, but using exactly 2 rows as you write, xbmc complain about no beautiful soap found ....

Is script.module.beautifulsoup showing up in your addons folder?

[realtebo]

This is my addon directory 'fresh of install' plus plugin.video.jworg [it's mine]

---

in the programm addon dir there is only one script.module and is script.module.pil

---

So if the default install has no beautiful soap installed, how can I use it ?

Like I already told:

Install any XBMC-add-on which also requires Beautifulsoup, e.g. Apple iTunes Trailers.

That's what I'm using (it's detailed here)
I can't believe people use that horrible beautifulsoup...
