how to use inspect to get class name in webpage in python in python

To get the class name of an element on a webpage in Python, you can use the inspect module along with the BeautifulSoup library.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to use inspect to get the class name of a specific element on a webpage using BeautifulSoup:

main.py
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import inspect

# get webpage HTML content
url = 'https://example.com'
response = requests.get(url)
html = response.content

# parse HTML with BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

# find element by class name
element = soup.find(class_='example-class')

# get class name of element using inspect
class_name = inspect.getfullargspec(element.get)['args'][0]

# print class name
print(class_name)
460 chars
21 lines

In this example, we first use the requests library to retrieve the HTML content of a webpage. We then use BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML and find an element with the class name "example-class". Finally, we use inspect to get the class name of the element and print it to the console.

Note that the element.get method returns a dictionary of attributes for the element, including the class name. We use inspect to inspect the signature of this method and get the name of the first argument, which corresponds to the class name.
