TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable, BeautifulSoup

Question

I'm running into a strange error. I'm trying to do some basic parsing. Essentially, I'm gathering data in 'x' format, and want to return everything in a format that I can use. My immediate issue is that my code is returning a strange error. I have looked through some of the other posts / answers on here for the same issue, but out of context... it is truly hard to pinpoint the issue. ``` data = url.text soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html5lib") results = [] # this is what my result set will end up as def parseDiv(text): #function takes one input parameter - a single div for which it will parse for specific items, and return it all as a dictionary soup2 = BeautifulSoup(text) title = soup2.find("a", "yschttl spt") print title.text print return title.text for result in soup.find_all("div", "res"): """ This is where the data is first handled - this would return a div with links, text, etc - So, I pass the blurb of text into the parseDiv() function """ item = parseDiv(result) results.append(i…

Accepted Answer

You don't need to parse the divs once again. Try this:

```
for div in soup.find_all('div', 'res'):
    a = div.find('a', 'yschttl spt')
    if a:
        print a.text
        print
        results.append(a)
```
