Beautiful Soup Content Grab not Working #93

Open aliguy opened 6 years ago

aliguy commented 6 years ago

Currently I am able to run the bot, and the screenshot grab appears to be functioning however the point scoring does not. Whilst testing using the sample question, I have discovered that when using the get_page() fucntion with wikipedia - the program does not function correctly. Having looked through the code, and tested many things - I have managed to find out that the page variable is "Falsy" and therefore as a string returns nothing on print, hence the 0 score for each key word. So essentially there are either problems with the get_page() function or potentially something to do with beautiful soup. Does anyone know how to solve this? I assume the rest of the program functions correctly as well.

I had this problem and just started downloading different packages intell it worked and also try running cmd as admin this worked for me..

Thank you, yeah - figured out that it was only the Wikipedia page grabs that were malfunctioning - I now have the program run a loop to find a link, until there is content in the page variable, bit less accurate though than relying only on wikipedia. Tried using sudo but no luck. Any ideas as to why py packages you downloaded on top of the requirements?

try downloading this but entering in cmd terminal git+https://github.com/abenassi/Google-Search-API/ and also do you have tesseract-ocr downloaded? pip install pytesseract
