[रवींदर ठाकà¥à¤° (ravinder thakur]

hello friends,


is there any lib in python that provides a mechanism to get the title
of a web page ? also is there anything available to get a nice summary
like the way google shows below every link ?


thanks

It's not part of the standard lib but I really like using
BeautifulSoup for this kind of thing:

from urllib import urlopen
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = urlopen("http://www.google.com").read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

print soup.title # '<title>Google</title>'
print soup.title.renderContents() # 'Google'
