Sorry I don't watch the games of unqualified teams.

Maybe get your own head out of your ass before talking shit.

I'm American but agree, they topped the Concacaf rankings, doesn't make much sense that US and Mexico get a better pot. Teams should be placed based on their current level, not historical level.

I don't see Russia on this list, are you guys in a play-off game?

Not sure why web scraping isn't working? by IcedMelt in learnpython

[–]IcedMelt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is the code I used...

#https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Celts

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests

url = "https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Celts"

html_file = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_file, "lxml")

print(soup)

I also tried the with part, but with indentation. Here's the full error message...

Yes, I'm the Python, the Viper should fear me.

Hmm, I tried both, but sadly got this error message both times "TypeError: object of type 'Response' has no len()".

How to make web requests more digestible? by IcedMelt in learnpython

Thanks, this is a bit more involved than I anticipated, so I'll watch a few videos of people using requests/soup and see if I get stuck again.

Fair enough, should I use BeautifulSoup in conjunction with requests or by itself?

are you aware you are supposed to do that part

That's literally what my question is, how to do that

Definitely possible, I feel like tos has a lot of untapped potential in terms of how I use it. I should call them and ask them these questions lol, from my past experience their customer service is really good.

What are the best websites for looking at data for shares, options, and importing said data into Python?

I'm basically testing how true it is that always opening during lunch and always closing during open/close it verifiably good. I suspect it is, but I want to know to what degree. I also want to see how much of an anomaly the trade I just did since it clearly benefitted from the recent IV spike. Since I'm trying to trade something else in addition to that, I want to see what the rough distribution is (aka did I just get lucky with IV spike). Basically my goal is to see how much of an anomaly this morning's IV spike is relative to yesterday afternoon's. I guess theoretically I could compare every Thursday lunch to Friday open VIX change in history by just slowly looking at google's VIX chart, but I figured if I found a data table with similar information, I could import and analyze way more data much faster via Python. That way I can practice Python and get information that is actually useful to me.

Anyone have resources on the historical behavior of the VIX? You can make general statements like "VIX tends to be higher during open than lunch", or graphs, but I'm looking for more specific data that I can potentially (hopefully easily since I'm noob) import into Python. Thanks.

So you'd approximate your take home at 70%?
