i am new to Python and to Beatiful Soup also! I heard about BS. It is told to be a great tool to parse and extract content.

I use soup.findAll('table' ,attrs={'class':'bp_ergebnis_tab_info'}) to get the whole table. Thanks... or should i try to get the whole stuff with Perl ... which i am not so familiar with.
