csessig86 / Iowa caucus location scraper
Created January 4, 2012 23:00
This Python code goes through the Iowa GOP's website (actually the info was pulled from the GOP site and posted on my personal site after I cleaned it up a bit), scrapes caucus locations and exports it into a TSV. Based on a tutorial from BuzzData
# Scraper based on this tutorial from BuzzData:
# http://blog.buzzdata.com/post/11871523667/how-to-scrape-toronto-data-a-basic-tutorial
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
# Create a file called "ward_pop.tsv" where we'll save our data
f = open('caucus_locations02.tsv', 'w')
# Make a header row: locationname (tab) precinct (tab) address (tab) address2
