find the class of the track list of an album in wikipedia in python

To find the class of the track list of an album in Wikipedia, we can use Python's web scraping library called beautifulsoup. Below is an example code snippet showing how we can extract the class of the tracklist element:

main.py
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# URL of the Wikipedia album page
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(Michael_Jackson_album)'

# Fetching the web page
response = requests.get(url)

# Parsing the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

# Finding the tracklist element by its CSS class
tracklist = soup.find('table', {'class': 'tracklist'})

# Print the class of the tracklist element
if tracklist is not None:
    print('The class of the tracklist element is:', tracklist['class'])
535 chars
19 lines

In the above code, we first fetch the web page using the requests module, and then parse the HTML content using beautifulsoup. We then find the tracklist element using its CSS class and print its class attribute value. Note that the structure and class name of the tracklist element may vary for different Wikipedia pages.
