Beautifulsoup Tag and Result Set

[juliandwain]

Problem

Looking at the example stock_data.py, there are 2 methods of generating the required dataframes. The 2nd method is working as expected, but the first method requires some more finetuning:

• the way of getting the html element in which the desired table is stored is unintuitive comparing to method 2
• when searching for the html elements like in the file, then Beautifulsoup returns a ResultSet
• the table for the DAX data is not generated correctly

[juliandwain]

A possible use case must be found where the different methods of finding a tag in Beautifulsoup (e.g., calling a tag, calling find, or calling find_all) is covered so that the function always returns the expected results (see 4c42543)

A possible solution would be to deeply integrate the ResultSet data type intop the Parser/Webscraper object and directrly work with it.
