CodePudding user response：

Construct a list of the rows you want to write to file. Where each element in the list is a dictionary with key:value as the column name:value. Then let pandas do the work.

So given the html you provided:

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
rows = soup.find_all('div', {'class':'row'})

rowList = []
for row in rows:
    cards = row.find_all('div', {'class':re.compile("^ui-card")})
    for card in cards:
        dateStr = card.find('span',{'class':re.compile("^help__content")}).text.strip()
        examName = card.find('span', {'class':'exam-name'}).text
        rowList.append({'date':dateStr,
                        'exam':examName})

df = pd.DataFrame(rowList)
df.to_csv('filename.csv', index=False)

Output:

print(df)
         date                 exam
