.gitignore
LICENSE
MANIFEST.in
README.md
pquery
setup.py

pquery is intended to integrate into your UNIX pipeline.

Install

pip install pquery

Syntax

Usage:
    pquery <selector>
    pquery <selector> -p <projector>
    pquery <selector> -f <format_string>
    pquery -h | --help

Options:
    -p: project the dict onto field `<projector>`.
    -f: equivalent of `<format_string>.format(item)`,
        where item is the dict form of one selected HTML element.
    -h | -v: shows this doc.

Dict keys:
    'tag': The HTML tag
    'html': Inner HTML of the element
    'text': Inner text of the element
    ...: [optional] Other attributes: e.g. 'href'

Why

grep is powerful for lines. HTML is structured and not line processor friendly. CSS selector is a natural grep for HTML. This script simply wraps pyquery to provide a CLI.

Example 1

A course webpage lists slides in pdf and pptx. Want to download all the PDFs. This saves you some click.

wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt -O- 'https://class.coursera.org/crypto-008/wiki/LectureSlidesPublicCourse' | pquery a -p href | grep pdf | xargs -P 5 -I{} wget {}

It's tedious to directly grep the PDF links out from HTML.
