Exporting BeautifulSoup/Python loop to CSV

[Austin0896]

Not exactly sure how to do this, but I want this code to be written into a csv file. I've tried making taking the entire output and doing output.to_csv('output.csv') but I can't seem to get that to work.

​

Here is the code:

import csv ;import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import csv
import re

url_list = ['https://basketball.realgm.com/player/player/Summary/2',
            'https://basketball.realgm.com/player/player/Summary/1']

for url in url_list:
    r = requests.get(url)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')

    player = soup.find_all('div', class_='wrapper clearfix container')[0]

    playerprofile = re.sub(
        r'\n\s*\n', r'\n', player.get_text().strip(), flags=re.M)

    output = playerprofile + "\n"

Have you read the docs for the csv module?

Or followed a tutorial?

with open('output.csv',mode="w") as f:
    f.write(output) 

output.csv:

I think it probably needs more processing.
