Python Beautiful Soup parsing a UTF-8 coded table (using mechanize)
Question: I'm trying to parse the following table, coded in UTF-8 (this is part of it):

    
    
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0" id="ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_c001c0d9_0cb8_4b0f_b75a_7cc3b6f7d790_ctl00_HistoryData1_gridHistoryData_DataGrid1" style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;">
                                <tr class="gridHeader" valign="top">
                                    <td class="titleGridRegNoB" align="center" valign="top"><span dir=RTL>שווי שוק (אלפי ש"ח)</span></td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">הון רשום למסחר</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">שער נמוך</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">שער גבוה</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">שער בסיס</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">שער פתיחה</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top"><span dir="rtl">שער נעילה (באגורות)</span>    
    </td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">שער נעילה מתואם</td><td class="titleGridReg" align="center" valign="top">תאריך</td>
                                </tr><tr onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#FDF1D7'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'">
    

My code is:

    
    
    html = br.response().read().decode('utf-8')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
    
    table_id = "ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_c001c0d9_0cb8_4b0f_b75a_7cc3b6f7d790_ctl00_HistoryData1_gridHistoryData_DataGrid1"
    table = soup.findall("table", id=table_id)
    

And I'm getting the following error:

    
    
    TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
    


Answer: Since you are just finding using an `id`, you can just use `id` and nothing
else, because `id`s are unique:

## UPDATE

Using your paste:

    
    
    # encoding=utf-8
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    import requests
    
    data = requests.get('https://dpaste.de/EWCK/raw/')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(data.text)
    print soup.find("table",
                    id="ctl00_SPWebPartManager1_g_c001c0d9_0cb8_4b0f_b75a_7cc3b6f7d790_ctl00_HistoryData1_gridHistoryData_DataGrid1")
    

I'm using python requests to get the data from a webpage, its same as as you
trying to get the data. The above code works, and the correct ID is given. Try
this for a change, don't use `.decode('utf-8')`, instead, just use
`br.response().read()`.
