python - Using BeautifulSoup to parse facebook -

-

so i'm trying parse public facebook pages using beautifulsoup. i've managed scrape linkedin, i've spent hours trying work on facebook no luck. code i'm trying use looks this:

for urls in my_urls: try:     page = urllib2.urlopen(urls)     soup = beautifulsoup(page)     info = soup.find_all("div", class_="fsl fwb fcb")     info2 = info.findall('a')

the part that's frustrating me can title element out, , can pretty far down document, can't part need get.

this line successfuly grabs pagetitle:

info = soup.find_all("title", attrs={"id": "pagetitle"})

this line can pretty far down list of elements, can't go farther.

info = soup.find_all(id="pagelet_timeline_main_column")

here's sample page i'm trying parse, want current city it:

https://www.facebook.com/100004210542493

and heres quick screenshot of part want looks like:

http://prntscr.com/1t8xx6

i feel i'm close, can't figure out. in advance help!

edit 2: should mention can print whole soup , visually find part need, whatever reason parsing won't work way should.

try looking @ content returned using curl or wget. seeing in browser has been rendered after javascripts has been executed.

wget https://www.facebook.com/100004210542493

you might want use memchanize or selenium, since want simulate client browser (instead of handling raw content).

another issue related might beautiful soup cannot find css class if object has other classes, too

java - Copying object fields -

-
what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
