Xpath Python Extract Data From Table Between Two Headings

I'm trying to extract data from a table that lies in between two headers in an html file using Python. IN this case, the required id to lookup lies in a span inside a header (I need id="Perlis", which lies between Perlis and Kedah):
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Perlis">Perlis</span>
<span class="mw-editsection">
<span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span>
edit

<table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:90%; width:100%;"></table>
This is the resulting JSON that I am trying to construct:
[

"state": "Perlis",
"constituencies": [
{
"id": "P1",
"name": "Padang Besar"
},
{
"id": "P2",
"name": "Kangar"
}
]
}
]
I'd like to know how to reference the specific table so I can extract the data into a JSON format. I have used Scrapy before but not sure how to in this case- this is what I had in mind:
class PostSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'manual_spider'
start_urls = [
'%URL%'
]
def parse(self, response):
doc = response.xpath('//comment()').getall() //This is the bit I need
//code continues here

and I want it to look like:
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 35.0% 35.0%
Federal income tax at statutory rate $(2,813) $5,834
State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax effect (733) 812
Provision (benefit) for income taxes $(3,546) $6,646
Effective income tax rate 44.1% 39.9%
I have two problems getting from the code to the code above to the table below:
1. there are empty cells like
2. some values are distributed over cells
I want to get rid of the empty cells by decomposing them and concatenate some cells like (2,813 and ) or 44.1 and %
I tried the following code for decomposing but it does not work and I have no clue how to concatenate cells in BeautifulSoup:

Unable to select Month and Year at DatePicker use Selenium + Python

Actually, I am able to select day and put the value.
Already try use some solution from other link :
1. Getting availability from datepicker
2. Python Selenium Date Picker
3. Python & Selenium Cannot select date in datepicker
When try to select month and year still no lock to get the result
Below my code :
start_date = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((
By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#departureDate_i")))
start_date.click() #Show Datepciker
browser.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('next')[0].click()")
current_month = browser.find_element_by_css_selector(".datepicker-months").text
print("current_month:", current_month)

Web Scraping tables from an HTML file

Hello all I am hoping to get some help with taking the tables in my HTML file and importing them into a csv file. I am very very new to web scraping so for give me if I am completely wrong with my code. The HTML file holds three separate table I am trying to extract; estimate, sampling error, and number of non-zero plots in estimate.
My code is shown below:
#import necessary libraries
import urllib2
import pandas as pd
#specify URL
table = "file:///C:/Users/TMccw/Anaconda2/FiaAPI/outFArea18.html"
#Query the website & return the html to the variable 'page'
page = urllib2.urlopen(table)
#import the bs4 functions to parse the data returned from the website
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
#Parse the html in the 'page' variable & store it in bs4 format
soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'html.parser')
#Print out the html code with the function prettify
print soup.prettify()
#Find the tables & check type
table2 = soup.find_all('table')
print(table2)
print type(table2)
#Create new table as a dataframe
new_table = pd.DataFrame(columns=range(0,4))
#Extract the info from the HTML code
soup.find('table').find_all('td'),{'align':'right'}
#Remove the tags and extract table info into CSV
???
Here is the HTML for the first table "Estimate":

I made four tables almost identical to yours and put them into a fairly respectable page of HTML. Then I ran this code.
>>> import bs4
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(open('temp.htm').read(), 'html.parser')
>>> tables = soup.findAll('table')
>>> for t, table in enumerate(tables):
... df = pd.read_html(str(table), skiprows=2)
... df[0].to_csv('table%s.csv' % t)

Perhaps the main thing I should mention is that I skipped the same number of rows in each table that BeautifulSoup delivered. If the number of header lines in the tables varies then you will have to do something more clever or just discard lines in the output files and omit the skiprows parameter.

Unsure as to what the exact question is here but right off the bat I can see an error that will throw you off a bit.
new_table = pd.DataFrame(columns=range(0-4))
Needs to be
new_table = pd.DataFrame(columns=range(0,4))
The result of range(0-4) is actually range(-4) which evaluates to range(0,-4) whereas you want range(0,4). You can just pass range(4) as the parameter or range(0,4).

How to parse an HTML table with rowspans in Python?

The problem
I'm trying to parse an HTML table with rowspans in it, as in, I'm trying to parse my college schedule.
I'm running into the problem where if the last row contains a rowspan, the next row is missing a TD where the rowspan is now that TD that is missing.
I have no clue how to account for this and I hope to be able to parse this schedule.
What I tried
Pretty much everything I can think of.
The result I get
[
{
'blok_eind': 4,
'blok_start': 3,
'dag': 4, # Should be 5
'leraar': 'DOODF000',
'lokaal': 'ALK C212',
'vak': 'PROJ-T',
},
]
As you can see, there's a vak key with the value PROJ-T in the output snippet above, dag is 4 while it's supposed to be 5 (a.k.a Friday/Vrijdag), as seen here:
The result I want
A Python dict() that looks like the one posted above, but with the right value
Where:
day/dag is an int from 1~5 representing Monday~Friday
block_start/blok_start is an int that represents when the course starts (Time block, left side of table)
block_end/blok_eind is an int that represent in what block the course ends
classroom/lokaal is the classroom's code the course is in
teacher/leraar is the teacher's ID
course/vak is the ID of the course

You'll have to track the rowspans on previous rows, one per column.
You could do this simply by copying the integer value of a rowspan into a dictionary, and subsequent rows decrement the rowspan value until it drops to 1 (or we could store the integer value minus 1 and drop to 0 for ease of coding). Then you can adjust subsequent table counts based on preceding rowspans.
Your table complicates this a little by using a default span of size 2, incrementing in steps of two, but that can easily be brought back to manageable numbers by dividing by 2.
Rather than use massive CSS selectors, select just the table rows and we'll iterate over those:
roster = []
rowspans = {} # track rowspanning cells
# every second row in the table
rows = page.select('html > body > center > table > tr')[1:21:2]
for block, row in enumerate(rows, 1):
# take direct child td cells, but skip the first cell:
daycells = row.select('> td')[1:]
rowspan_offset = 0
for daynum, daycell in enumerate(daycells, 1):
# rowspan handling; if there is a rowspan here, adjust to find correct position
daynum += rowspan_offset
while rowspans.get(daynum, 0):
rowspan_offset += 1
rowspans[daynum] -= 1
daynum += 1
# now we have a correct day number for this cell, adjusted for
# rowspanning cells.
# update the rowspan accounting for this cell
rowspan = (int(daycell.get('rowspan', 2)) // 2) - 1
if rowspan:
rowspans[daynum] = rowspan
texts = daycell.select("table > tr > td > font")
if texts:
# class info found
teacher, classroom, course = (c.get_text(strip=True) for c in texts)
roster.append({
'blok_start': block,
'blok_eind': block + rowspan,
'dag': daynum,
'leraar': teacher,
'lokaal': classroom,
'vak': course
})
# days that were skipped at the end due to a rowspan
while daynum < 5:

This produces correct output:
[{'blok_eind': 2,
'blok_start': 1,
'dag': 5,
'leraar': u'BLEEJ002',
'lokaal': u'ALK B021',
'vak': u'WEBD'},
{'blok_eind': 3,
'blok_start': 2,
'dag': 3,
'leraar': u'BLEEJ002',
'lokaal': u'ALK B021B',
'vak': u'WEBD'},
{'blok_eind': 4,
'blok_start': 3,
'dag': 5,
'leraar': u'DOODF000',
'lokaal': u'ALK C212',
'vak': u'PROJ-T'},
{'blok_eind': 5,
'blok_start': 4,
'dag': 3,
'leraar': u'BLEEJ002',
'lokaal': u'ALK B021B',
'vak': u'MENT'},
{'blok_eind': 7,
'blok_start': 6,
'dag': 5,
'leraar': u'JONGJ003',
'lokaal': u'ALK B008',
'vak': u'BURG'},
{'blok_eind': 8,
'blok_start': 7,
'dag': 3,
'leraar': u'FLUIP000',
'lokaal': u'ALK B004',
'vak': u'ICT algemeen Prakti'},
{'blok_eind': 9,
'blok_start': 8,
'dag': 5,
'leraar': u'KOOLE000',
'lokaal': u'ALK B008',
'vak': u'NED'}]
Moreover, this code will continue to work even if courses span more than 2 blocks, or just one block; any rowspan size is supported.

Maybe it is better to use bs4 builtin function like "findAll" to parse your table.
You may use the following code :
from pprint import pprint
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
r = requests.get("http://rooster.horizoncollege.nl/rstr/ECO/AMR/400-ECO/Roosters/36"
"/c/c00025.htm")
content=r.content
page = BeautifulSoup(content, "html")
table=page.find('table')
trs=table.findAll("tr", {},recursive=False)
tr_count=0
trs.pop(0)
final_table={}
for tr in trs:
tds=tr.findAll("td", {},recursive=False)
if tds:
td_count=0
tds.pop(0)
for td in tds:
if td.has_attr('rowspan'):
final_table[str(tr_count)+"-"+str(td_count)]=td.text.strip()
if int(td.attrs['rowspan'])==4:
final_table[str(tr_count+1)+"-"+str(td_count)]=td.text.strip()
if final_table.has_key(str(tr_count)+"-"+str(td_count+1)):
td_count=td_count+1
td_count=td_count+1
tr_count=tr_count+1
roster=[]
for i in range(0,10): #iterate over time
for j in range(0,5): #iterate over day
item=final_table[str(i)+"-"+str(j)]
if len(item)!=0:
block_eind=i+1
try:
if final_table[str(i+1)+"-"+str(j)]==final_table[str(i)+"-"+str(j)]:
block_eind=i+2
except:
pass
try:
lokaal=item.split('\r\n \n\n')[0]
leraar=item.split('\r\n \n\n')[1].split('\n \n\r\n')[0]
vak=item.split('\n \n\r\n')[1]
except:
lokaal=leraar=vak="---"
dayroster = {
"dag": j+1,
"blok_start": i+1,
"blok_eind": block_eind,
"lokaal": lokaal,
"leraar": leraar,
"vak": vak
}
dayroster_double = {
"dag": j+1,
"blok_start": i,
"blok_eind": block_eind,
"lokaal": lokaal,
"leraar": leraar,
"vak": vak
}
#use to prevent double dict for same event
if dayroster_double not in roster:
roster.append(dayroster)
print (roster)
