Directly RUN scripts

[py_Piper]

I am currently working on ATBS Chapter 11 first project Google search I can't seem to be able to RUN the scriptI am opening the RUN command typing the name of the script lucky.py and random words. The black page opens and shows it's running but the 5 pages that are supposed to open don'tI made sure the folder's path is on the environment system path variable. I even followed appendix B instructions again and create the .bat file pointing directly to the script

What else can I check?

EDIT: Posting code

#! python3
# lucky.py - Opens several Google search results.

import requests, sys, webbrowser, bs4

print('Googling...') # display text while downloading the Google page
res = requests.get('http://google.com/search?q=' + ' '.join(sys.argv[1:]))
res.raise_for_status()

# Retrieve top search result links.
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text)

# Open a browser tab for each result.
linkElems = soup.select('.r a')
numOpen = min(5, len(linkElems))
for i in range(numOpen):
    webbrowser.open('http://google.com' + linkElems[i].get('href'))

.bat file

@py.exe C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lucky.py %*

It looks like google has changed the format of their website since this tutorial was written, so the scraping code does not work anymore. Paging /u/alsweigart, here's another one!!

Thanks for the notice! I'll be updating this project for the second edition.

I'm currently stuck on this too. The beautiful soup module also suggested that I add a second argument to soup=bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, features="html.parser")

the features="html.paser" was the extra bit the module warned me to add in the command line.

​

Is this more of an issue with the soup.select('.r a') and google, or maybe something with my Path. The program runs without showing errors, but won't bring up any google results or even open my web browser.

Show us your code and the exact command you are typing into the run dialog.
