为什么使用 BeautifulSoup 和 IDLE 会出现递归错误？

Question

我正在按照教程尝试学习如何使用 BeautifulSoup。我正在尝试从我下载的 html 页面上的网址中删除名称。到目前为止我的效果很好。

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(open("43rd-congress.html"))

final_link = soup.p.a
final_link.decompose()

links = soup.find_all('a')

for link in links:
    print link

但是当我进入下一部分时

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(open("43rd-congress.html"))

final_link = soup.p.a
final_link.decompose()

links = soup.find_all('a')

for link in links:
    names = link.contents[0]
    fullLink = link.get('href')
    print names
    print fullLink

我收到此错误

Traceback (most recent call last):

    print names

这是 IDLE 和 BeautifulSoup 的 NavigableString 对象（其子类 unicode）之间的错误交互。请参阅问题 1757057；它已经存在了一段时间了。

解决方法是首先将对象转换为纯 unicode 值：

print unicode(names)
