Attributeerror: 'list' Object Has No Attribute 'timeout' - Trying To Process Multiple Urls With Beautifulsoup

I am trying to grab and parse multiple URLs using urllib and BeautifulSoup, but I get the following error: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'timeout' From what I unde

Solution 1:

Your error clearly said 'list' object has no attribute 'timeout'

It's because urlopen doesn't take in a list. you should nest it in a loop like this:

my_texts = []
for each in addresses
    html = urllib.request.urlopen(addresses).read()
    print(text_from_html(html)) # or assign to variable like:
    my_texts.append(text_from_html(html))

I would suggest you to use a better module for http than urllib, use requests instead (import requests)
