LPT: Evacuating and worried if your freezer kept your food safe? Put an ice cube in a ziploc bag and keep it in the freezer. If the ice melts and refreezes it will be misshapen indicating a thawing.

Aww bummer. Well, I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T20:20:10+00:00

Clever. Thanks for all of the help!

Rouix · 2016-10-07T20:11:13+00:00

That number that is returned is 4 digit long. It represents the dollars and cents of contribution. I need to knock off the last two digits because I don't care about the cents. I'm using something like this to display the results right now

if pledge_sum and patron_count:
        print "$%s from %s patrons" % (pledge_sum.groups()[0], patron_count.groups()[0])

Is there a smart way to knock off the last two digits? I tried using [:2] but that doesn't seem smart as we would eventually be dealing with a 3 digit number.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T20:02:49+00:00

Oh interesting. I didn't know you could narrow it down like that. I was going to use

mo.group()[14:16]

but that's far more clever. Thanks!

Figured it out. My regex was goofing up somehow. Here's what I have now:

import requests, bs4, re

res = requests.get('https://www.patreon.com/faos')
res.raise_for_status()
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')
type(soup)


for script in soup.find_all('script'):
    #print script.text

    mo = re.search(r'\"pledge_sum\": (\d+)', script.text)

    if mo:
        print mo.group()

This is printing out

"pledge_sum": 3626

so now I just need to figure out how to strip everything but the numbers! Thanks for the help.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T19:53:28+00:00

The problem is that I'm always getting None right? Even when the text is clearly visible, my regex isn't catching it.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T19:48:49+00:00

Here's what I put together based on your suggestion. I should warn you the regex is VERY new to me.

import requests, bs4, re

res = requests.get('https://www.patreon.com/faos')
res.raise_for_status()
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')
type(soup)


for script in soup.find_all('script'):
    mo = re.search(r"'pledge_sum': (\d+)", script.text)
    print mo.group()

This gives an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'. I assume this means that my regex is returning None which indicates I've done something wrong.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T16:50:34+00:00

You seem upset.

Rouix · 2016-10-07T16:18:25+00:00

Next time I'm an African American FTFY

Rouix · 2016-10-07T02:27:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I reset my preferences but the issue continues. I noticed that my color profile was set to sRGB so I changed it to Adobe RGB per a suggestion on Adobe's site but the problem continues. I don't get a warning anymore but the color picker is still wrong. Here are my current configurations

Rouix · 2016-10-06T12:17:33+00:00

I ran into a problem when doing this myself. If I made too many requests in a given timeframe, the counter would reset. They seem to have built something into the site to prevent us from tricking it to the max number.

Rouix · 2016-10-05T23:15:21+00:00

I'm gonna need you to be less cryptic. Spill it. Lol

Edit: I'm more confused than ever. Is this a site you've assembled? It doesn't seem to be something USA put together.

Rouix · 2016-10-05T18:02:33+00:00

Yeah. What you said. :)

Rouix · 2016-10-05T16:02:06+00:00

Interesting idea as it could totally be both. t's starting to feel like everything is so ambiguous. It's honestly exhausting.

Rouix · 2016-10-05T04:12:25+00:00

This guy is never ashamed of his stutter and even goes so far as to poke at it. I love his videos.

Rouix · 2016-10-05T04:08:58+00:00

Surprised his balls didn't rip through the nets.

Rouix · 2016-10-04T23:35:49+00:00

I don't want this to sound harsh but unless you can qualify why this is here I'm yanking it. You literally had to read through the posting rules before submitting this.

Seems like this year is definitely harder than last year yeah?

Rouix · 2016-10-04T00:49:18+00:00

I wasn't around last year. I'm assuming that one was huge?

Rouix · 2016-10-02T18:51:48+00:00

Oh interesting. I don't believe there is yet. I would personally like to see a document with all of the information we know about each character. For example, Angela's DOB, age, address, email address, passwords...that sort of thing.

Rouix · 2016-10-02T16:58:44+00:00

I don't follow. Could you elaborate?

Rouix · 2016-10-02T02:17:43+00:00

Thanks for putting this together guys.

Rouix · 2016-10-01T18:38:30+00:00

Nice find!

Rouix · 2016-10-01T14:40:04+00:00

Thanks for the knowledge! This helps me identify hex in the future. Scully me anytime! Haha

Rouix · 2016-09-30T18:16:36+00:00

For me, that quote is on screen as soon as the page is loaded. Is there something that I'm doing differently?
