Explanation: Let's scrape a practice table
The latest Mountain Goats album is called Goths. (It's good!) I made a simple HTML table with the track listing -- let's scrape it into a CSV.
Import the modules we'll need
Read in the file, see what we're working with
We'll use the read() method to get the contents of the file.

    # use the type() function to see what kind of object `html_code` is

    
    # feed the file's contents (the string of HTML) to BeautifulSoup
    # will complain if you don't specify the parser


    # use the type() function to see what kind of object `soup` is


"""
Explanation: Parse the table with BeautifulSoup
Right now, Python isn't interpreting our table as data -- it's just a string. We need to use BeautifulSoup to parse that string into data objects that Python can understand. Once the string is parsed, we'll be working with a "tree" of data that we can navigate.

    # by position on the page
    # find_all returns a list of matching elements, and we want the second ([1]) one

    
    # by class name
    # => with `find`, you can pass a dictionary of element attributes to match on

    
    # by ID

    
    # by style

    


"""
Explanation: Decide how to target the table
BeautifulSoup has several methods for targeting elements -- by position on the page, by attribute, etc. Right now we just want to find the correct table.

        # assign them to variables

        
        # use the .string attribute to get the text in the cell


"""
Explanation: Looping over the table rows
Let's print a list of track numbers and song titles. Look at the structure of the table -- a table has rows represented by the tag tr, and within each row there are cells represented by td tags. The find_all() method returns a list. And we know how to iterate over lists: with a for loop. Let's do that.
