.net - Iron python, beautiful soup, win32 app -

-

does beautiful soup work iron python? if version of iron python? how easy distribute windows desktop app on .net 2.0 using iron python (mostly c# calling python code parsing html)?

i asking myself same question , after struggling follow advice here , elsewhere ironpython , beautifulsoup play nicely existing code decided go looking alternative native .net solution. beautifulsoup wonderful bit of code , @ first didn't there comparable available .net, found html agility pack , if think i've gained maintainability on beautifulsoup. takes clean or crufty html , produces elegant xml dom can queried via xpath. couple lines of code can raw xdocument , craft queries in linq xml. honestly, if web scraping goal, cleanest solution find.

here simple (read: not robust @ all) example parses out house of representatives holiday schedule:

using system; using system.collections.generic; using htmlagilitypack;  namespace govparsingtest {     class program     {         static void main(string[] args)         {             htmlweb hw = new htmlweb();             string url = @"http://www.house.gov/house/house_calendar.shtml";             htmldocument doc = hw.load(url);              htmlnode docnode = doc.documentnode;             htmlnode div = docnode.selectsinglenode("//div[@id='primary']");             htmlnodecollection tablerows = div.selectnodes(".//tr");              foreach (htmlnode row in tablerows)             {                 htmlnodecollection cells = row.selectnodes(".//td");                 htmlnode datenode = cells[0];                 htmlnode eventnode = cells[1];                  while (eventnode.haschildnodes)                 {                     eventnode = eventnode.firstchild;                 }                  console.writeline(datenode.innertext);                 console.writeline(eventnode.innertext);                 console.writeline();             }              //console.writeline(div.innerhtml);             console.readkey();         }     } }
