Web scraping(bookstore) project

use web scraping to scrap the html file data from the bookstore website. Website: http://search.books.com.tw/search/query/key/python/cat/all

  2. Open the html file, then use lxml tree to extract the title of these books first.

  4. Download those html files and rename them with the title we got from step 2.
  5. Read the file from the html file
  6. Use Xpath to extract the element from the website and store the value in an empty dictionary.
  7. Do some data cleaning and examination job, because some of the book website may have different Xpath.
