我想从一张大表中读取第 5、10、15、20 行...使用 BeautifulSoup。我该怎么做呢? findNextSibling 和递增计数器是否可行?

您还可以使用findAll 获取列表中的所有行,然后使用切片语法访问您需要的元素:
rows = soup.findAll('tr')[4::5]
【讨论】:
如果您知道要选择的行号,则可以在美丽的汤中使用select 轻松完成此操作。 (注意:这是在 bs4 中)
row = 5
while true
element = soup.select('tr:nth-of-type('+ row +')')
if len(element) > 0:
# element is your desired row element, do what you want with it
row += 5
else:
break

作为一般解决方案,您可以将表格转换为嵌套列表并进行迭代...
import BeautifulSoup
def listify(table):
"""Convert an html table to a nested list"""
result = []
rows = table.findAll('tr')
for row in rows:
result.append([])
cols = row.findAll('td')
for col in cols:
strings = [_string.encode('utf8') for _string in col.findAll(text=True)]
text = ''.join(strings)
result[-1].append(text)
return result
if __name__=="__main__":
"""Build a small table with one column and ten rows, then parse into a list"""
htstring = """<table> <tr> <td>foo1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo6</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo7</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo9</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo10</td> </tr></table>"""
soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(htstring)
for idx, ii in enumerate(listify(soup)):
if ((idx+1)%5>0):
continue
print ii
运行那个...
[mpenning@Bucksnort ~]$ python testme.py
['foo5']
['foo10']
[mpenning@Bucksnort ~]$

另一种选择,如果您更喜欢原始 html...
"""Build a small table with one column and ten rows, then parse it into a list"""
htstring = """<table> <tr> <td>foo1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo6</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo7</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo9</td> </tr> <tr> <td>foo10</td> </tr></table>"""
result = [html_tr for idx, html_tr in enumerate(soup.findAll('tr')) \
if (idx+1)%5==0]
print result
运行那个...
[mpenning@Bucksnort ~]$ python testme.py
[<tr> <td>foo5</td> </tr>, <tr> <td>foo10</td> </tr>]
[mpenning@Bucksnort ~]$

以下是使用gazpacho 抓取this Wikipedia 页面上每5 个分发链接的方法:
from gazpacho import Soup
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability_distributions"
soup = Soup.get(url)
a_tags = soup.find("a", {"href": "distribution"})
links = ["https://en.wikipedia.org" + a.attrs["href"] for a in a_tags]
links[4::5] # start at 0,1,2,3,**4** and stride by 5
