'ValueError: No tables found by using pd.read_html from the Book: Python for Data Analysis(Wes McKinney)
I am learning from the Book: Python for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney, 2nd Edition.
On the page 180 I'm trying to run the code:
tables = pd.read_html('examples/fdic_failed_bank_list.html')
Because I'm using Jupyter Notebook(on a Windows pc) in previous examples I had to use "Backslash" instead.
The problem is the message I'm getting by running this code:
tables = pd.read_html('examples\fdic_failed_bank_list.html')
ValueError: No tables found.
I also tried to explicitly import bs4, html5lib, lxml, json, requests.
I also tried the following code:
url2='http://localhost:8888/view/Python%20for%20Data%20Analysis/examples/fdic_failed_bank_list.html'
r = requests.get(url2)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
table = str(soup.select("table"))
tables = pd.read_html(table)
The suggestion with selenium was too complicated for me.
How can I solve this problem?
