The example in this article describes how Python implements the conversion of HTML tables to CSV files. Share to everyone for your reference. Specific as follows:
How to use: Python html2csv.py *.html
This code uses the Htmlparser module

Http://sebsauvage.net "% (ProgramName, Progname, Progname, Progname) class Html2csv (Htmlparser.htmlparser): ' A Basic parser which converts HTML tables into CSV. Feed HTML with Feed (). Get CSV with Getcsv (). (see example below.) All tables in HTML is converted to CSV (in the order they occur in the HTML file). You can process very large HTML files by feeding the This class with chunks of HTML while getting chunks of CSV by calling Getcsv (). Should handle badly formated HTML (missing,,, extraneous,...). This parser uses htmlparser from the Htmlparser module and not htmlparser from the Htmllib module. Example:parser = Html2csv () parser.feed (open (' mypage.html ', ' RB '). Read ()) Open (' Mytables.csv ', ' w+b '). WRI Te (Parser.getcsv ()) This class is public domain. Author:sébastien Sauvage
