Problem running scrape_bloomberg_company_names.py #29

Closed Analect closed 10 years ago

Analect commented 10 years ago

Hi. I was trying to run this code (https://github.com/dssg/givinggraph/blob/master/givinggraph/companycause/scrape_bloomberg_company_names.py), but it only scrapes the first page '0-9'. I've played around to try to get it working, but I'm not adept enough at BeautifulSoup. Any pointers on how I might fix it would be great. Thanks.

Hi, if you try now, it should work. The issue was that in commit # 6fb0c47272045405b902e43bf63fc9039ed9bc1c the automatic pep-8 conformation introduced an additional indentations forcing an important part of the code to fall into an "except:" clause.

@atqamar ... thanks for that. I probably should have figured that one out myself! Seems to be working OK now ... was looking through your project .. is it still on-going?
