python-beautifulsoup4
Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround
projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:
* Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree
that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is
usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away
* Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for
navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a
document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom
parser for each application
* Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and
outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings, unless
the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect
one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding
Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal stuff
for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links of class
externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com", or "Find the
table heading that's got bold text, then give me that text."
Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now within
your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes with
Beautiful Soup.

Leap update; fixes the docstring parsing and makes things like calibre working again.
Not SLE-Leap thing, just bug we don't expose on SLE :(
- Update to 4.8.2
* Added Python docstrings to all public methods of the most commonly
used classes.
* Fixed two deprecation warnings. Patches by Colin
Watson and Nicholas Neumann. [bug=1847592] [bug=1855301]
* The html.parser tree builder now correctly handles DOCTYPEs that are
not uppercase. [bug=1848401]
* PageElement.select() now returns a ResultSet rather than a regular
list, making it consistent with methods like find_all().
- Update to 4.8.1:
* When the html.parser or html5lib parsers are in use, Beautiful Soup
will, by default, record the position in the original document where
each tag was encountered.
* Fixed the definition of the default XML namespace when using
lxml 4.4.
* Avoid a crash when unpickling certain parse trees generated
using html5lib on Python 3.
* Avoid a crash when trying to detect the declared encoding of a
Unicode document.
- Drop patch beautifulsoup4-lxml-fixes.patch as it seems not needed
- Replace %fdupes -s with plain %fdupes; hardlinks are better.
- Update to 4.8.0
* It's now possible to customize the TreeBuilder object by passing
keyword arguments into the BeautifulSoup constructor. The main
reason to do this right now is to change how which attributes are
treated as multi-valued attributes (the way 'class' is treated by
default). You can do this with the `multi_valued_attributes` argument.
