I can't find a table using bs4, and I found an alternative using `re`, but I'm not sure how to get the information I need

I wanted to create a dictionary where I would pull the holdings as the key along with the Weight(%) as the value. But when I try to use soup.find('table', {'id' : 'etf_holding_table'}) to access the table, nothing shows up. I saw some posts saying that it might be inside a comment and tried to copy a few ways things were done there, but I wasn't able to do so successfully.

I ended up finding someone's response to a way to pull ticker information using re, but I can't seem to find any good resources explaining what his code was doing.
Here is the post I copied code from to get the ticker.

import requests
import re

keys = ['ARKK']
headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0"}
url = 'https://www.zacks.com/funds/etf/ARKK/holding'

with requests.Session() as req:
        req.headers.update(headers)
        for key in keys:
            r = req.get(url.format(key))
            goal = re.findall(r'etf\\\/(.*?)\\', r.text)
            print(goal)

OUTPUT
['TSLA', 'TDOC', 'COIN', 'ROKU', 'U', 'ZM', 'SPOT', 'SQ', 'SHOP', 'PATH', 'TWLO', 'EXAS', 'NTLA', 'Z', 'PLTR', 'CRSP', 'TWTR', 'BEAM', 'DKNG', 'NVTA', 'FATE', 'TXG', 'DOCU', 'HOOD', 'PACB', 'PD', 'IRDM', 'TSP', 'DNA', 'TWST', 'VCYT', 'SGFY', 'SKLZ', 'EDIT', 'TWOU', 'IOVA', 'SSYS', 'TRMB', 'BLI', 'MTLS', 'CERS', 'CGEN', 'PRLB', 'NSTG']

By playing around a little with the re.findall() I was sort of able to get the information I wanted (highlighted in yellow), but I'm not sure how to get the numbers I need now. messing around

I'd very much appreciate some good resources on understanding and using re as I clearly don't understand too well what I'm doing, or how to get the information I need. I would message the poster I got the code from, but it seems as though you can't message someone on Stack Overflow.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
