Python: AttributeError: 'Response' object has no attribute 'read'

Question

Here is my code: I tried to read a web page and select few html items for further processing

from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import urlopen
from urllib.parse import urlparse
import requests, bs4

res = requests.get('http://www.iceomatic.com/Products/Ice-Machines/Cubers/')
icesoup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.read())
selectElems = icesoup.select('li')
len(selectElems)
type(selectElems[0])
selectElems[0].click()

And it throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "web.py.txt", line 18, in <module>
icesoup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.read())
AttributeError: 'Response' object has no attribute 'read'
Exception ignored in: <bound method Service.__del__ of

send_remote_shutdown_command
ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks

Solution

You want to use res.text instead. The read() attribute doesn't exist in the Response object.
