Beautifulsoup, maximum recursion depth reached
beautifulsoup, python
Solution
You probably hit a string. Iterating over a string yields 1-length strings. Iterating over that 1-length string yields a 1-length string. Iterating over THAT 1-length string...
Problem
This is a `beautifulsoup` procedure that grabs content within all `<p>` html tags. After grabbing content from some web pages, I get an error that says maximum recursion depth exceeded. ``` def printText(tags): for tag in tags: if tag.__class__ == NavigableString: print tag, else: printText(tag) print "" #loop over urls, send soup to printText procedure ``` The bottom of trace: ``` File "web_content.py", line 16, in printText printText(tag) File "web_content.py", line 16, in printText printText(tag) File "web_content.py", line 16, in printText printText(tag) File "web_content.py", line 16, in printText printText(tag) File "web_content.py", line 16, in printText printText(tag) File "web_content.py", line 13, in printText if tag.__class__ == NavigableString: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp ```
