Scrape the absolute URL instead of a relative path in python
In this case urlparse.urljoin helps you. You should modify your code like this-
import bs4 as bs4
import urllib.request
from urlparse import urljoin
web_url = 'https:www.example-page-xl.com'
sauce = urllib.request.urlopen(web_url).read()
soup = bs.BeautifulSoup(sauce,'lxml')
section = soup.section
for url in section.find_all('a'):
print urljoin(web_url,url.get('href'))
here urljoin manage absolute and relative paths.
urllib.parse.urljoin() might help. It does a join, but it is smart about it and handles both relative and absolute paths. Note this is python 3 code.
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> base = 'https://www.example-page-xl.com'
>>> urllib.parse.urljoin(base, '/helloworld/index.php')
'https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php'
>>> urllib.parse.urljoin(base, 'https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php')
'https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php'
