How do I find a tag using BeautifulSoup?

I am trying to scrape a German Billiard League website for results, to tabulate and submit to a rating system that requires a certain format. I am no python expert, but I have muddled through how to pull a complete list of links from the root League page, and to get Date, Home/Visitor teams, and now I am trying to capture individual match data.

Here is the relevant HTML:

<tr>
<td colspan="3" nowrap="" rowspan="2" width="100"><b>
                                Spiel 2<br/>8-Ball                      </b>
</td>
<td class="home up" colspan="6" valign="top">Christian Fachinger</td>
<td class="visitor up" colspan="7" valign="top">Michael Schneider</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="home down" colspan="6" valign="top">7</td>
<td class="visitor down" colspan="7" valign="top">4</td>

Site: https://hbu.billardarea.de/cms_leagues/matchday/344947

I am trying to find the "td" tag that contains the text string "Spiel 2". I should then be able to pull the game - "8-ball", and then move on to figuring out how to capture the data inside the relevant "class" tags. For the life of me, I cannot get a result back. I have tried many permutations of various soup commands, but either get a "None", or "[]". I "think" it might have something to do with the extra spaces, but have tried various regex-centric commands, but have not been able to "select" this td tag to do further data gathering.

What am I doing wrong? I know I am not coding this in the most efficient manner, and this is the first time I have tried to write a web scraper, and in general, am a python newb.

        for item in league:
            league = item.next_sibling.next_sibling.text
            league = league.partition(" ")[0]

        print(date, ",", league, ",", home, " (H) vs ", visitor, "(V)", sep='')

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
