获取维基百科文章中不在括号内的第一个链接

Question

所以我对这个理论很感兴趣,如果你去一篇随机的维基百科文章,请点击不在括号内的第一个链接,在95%的情况下你最终会看到关于哲学的文章.

我想用Python编写一个脚本,为我提取链接,最后打印一个很好的列表,列出了哪些文章被访问过(linkA -> linkB -> linkC)等等.

我设法获得了网页的HTML DOM,并设法删除了一些不必要的链接以及引导消歧页面的顶级描述栏.到目前为止,我的结论是:

• DOM从您在右侧某些页面上看到的表开始,例如在Human中.我们想忽略这些链接.
• 有效的链接元素都有一个<p>元素作为它们的祖先(如果它位于<b>标记或类似内容中,通常是父元素或祖父母<p>元素.导致消歧页面的顶部条形似乎不包含任何元素.
• 无效链接包含一些特殊单词,后跟冒号,例如 Wikipedia:

到现在为止还挺好.但这是括号,让我.例如,在关于Human的文章中,不在括号内的第一个链接是"/ wiki/Species",但脚本在其中找到"/ wiki/Taxonomy".

我不知道如何以编程方式进行此操作,因为我必须在父/子节点的某些组合中查找文本,这些组合可能并不总是相同.有任何想法吗？

我的代码可以在下面看到,但这是我很快就编写的东西,并不是很自豪.然而,它被评论,所以你可以看到我的思路(我希望:)).

我在 Github ( http://github.com/JensTimmerman/scripts/blob/master/philosophy.py )上找到了一个 python 脚本来玩这个游戏。它使用 Beautifulsoup 进行 HTML 解析，为了解决括号问题，他只是在解析链接之前删除括号之间的文本。
