for loop to iterate over the table rows of track listing of an album in a wikipedia page in python in python

In order to iterate over the table rows of track listing of an album in a Wikipedia page in Python, we need to use a combination of web scraping and for loop. We can use the Beautiful Soup library to scrape the web page and extract the table data. Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# URL of the Wikipedia page containing the album information
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album_Name'

# Make a GET request to fetch the page content
response = requests.get(url)

# Parse the HTML content using Beautiful Soup
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

# Find the table to extract the album track listing
table = soup.find('table', {'class': 'tracklist'})

# Iterate over the table rows and extract the track information
for row in table.findAll('tr'):
    cells = row.findAll('td')
    if cells:
        # Extract the track number and name
        track_number = cells[0].text.strip()
        track_name = cells[1].text.strip()
        
        # Do something with the track information
        print(f'Track {track_number}: {track_name}')
824 chars
26 lines

In the above code, we first make a GET request to fetch the Wikipedia page content. We then parse the HTML content using Beautiful Soup to extract the table data. We use the find() method to locate the table based on its class attribute.

We then use a for loop to iterate over the table rows and extract the track information. We use the findAll() method to locate all the td elements within each tr element. We skip the rows that don't contain any td elements, as they don't contain track information.

Finally, we extract the track number and name from the td elements and do something with it (in this case, we print it to the console). Feel free to modify the code to suit your specific use case.
