Trouble Parsing Text Using Beautifulsoup And Python

I am trying to retrieve the comment section on regulations.gov pages. An example is the paragraph 'Restrictions on Proprietary Trading... with free market driven valuations.' on ht

Solution 1:

You need to let PhantomJS explicitly wait for the element to become present before reading the page_source. Worked for me:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get("http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=OCC-2011-0014-0032")

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.GGAAYMKDGNE")))
