ValueError - Equinox - 03-07-2014
I'm working on a top secret project in Python that requires I grab the whois list from SL.
I feel retarded for asking, but can anyone help?
Code:
import urllib,sys
if sys.version_info[0] > 2:
import urllib.request as urlreq
else:
import urllib2 as urlreq
w = urlreq.urlopen('https://www.sinister.ly/')
xread = str(w.read())
if "fuck you bill bergenstein" in xread:
whosonline = "What the fuck?"
else:
(t,c) = xread.split("""<tr><td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">""",1)
(c,t) = c.split("""</span></td></tr>""",1)
whosonline = c
print(whosonline)RE: ValueError - w00t - 03-07-2014
And what is the error, good sir?

Needs more than 1 value to unpack.

For whatever reason, split isn't returning a list.
It may have something to do with that you restricted it to output only one string.
Just a guess though.

The error is happening because there is no place to split, here is the test code, you'll see it can't find your string in the page source
Code:
import urllib,sys
if sys.version_info[0] > 2:
import urllib.request as urlreq
else:
import urllib2 as urlreq
w = urlreq.urlopen('https://www.sinister.ly/')
xread = str(w.read())
splitvalue = """<tr><td class="trow1"><span class="smalltext">"""
print(splitvalue)
if(splitvalue in xread):
print("I found a place to split!")
else:
print("There is nowhere to split! :(")
if "fuck you bill bergenstein" in xread:
whosonline = "What the fuck?"
else:
allsplits = xread.split(splitvalue)
for part in allsplits:
print("Got a part")
(t,c) = allsplits
(c,t) = c.split("""</span></td></tr>""",1)
whosonline = c
print(whosonline)
