    try:
        share_details1 = soup.find('a', href="../Industry/Industry_Data.php?s=100")
        messy = share_details1.find("span")
        messy.decompose()
        sector = share_details1.text.strip()

    except:
        print('No sector information availible for ', ticker)
        return {'ticker': ticker, 'sector': ''}

    print(ticker, sector)
    return {'ticker': ticker, 'sector': sector}

CodePudding user response：

So to loop on a range you can do a for _ in range(start, stop, step):

Assuming you want it all wrapped in a function and you can accept the output to be an array of dictionaries:

def get_sector(ticker):
    soup = get_soup(LSE   ticker)
    result = []
    for s in range(100, 1400, 100): #starting here 's' is your changing value
        try:
            share_details1 = soup.find('a', href=f'../Industry/Industry_Data.php?s={s}') #plug in here
            messy = share_details1.find("span")
            messy.decompose()
            sector = share_details1.text.strip()

        except:
            print('No sector information availible for ', ticker)
            return {'ticker': ticker, 'sector': ''}

        print(ticker, sector)
        result.append({'ticker': ticker, 'sector': sector})
    return result
