html - Python Selenium Scraping Crashes, Can I Find Elements For Part of The Web Page? -


i trying scrape data website. website has 'load more products' button. i'm using:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("""//*[@id="showmoreresult"]""").click()

to hit button , loops set number of iterations.

the problem i'm running once number of iterations have been completed, want extract text webpage using:

posts = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("hotproductdetails")

however, seems crash chrome, , can no data out. i'd do, populate posts new products have loaded after each iteration.

after 'load more' has been clicked, want grab text 50 products have loaded, append list , continue.

i can run line posts = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("hotproductdetails") within each iteration, grabs every element on page every time, , slows down process.

is there anyway of achieving in selenium or limited using library?

this full script:

import csv import time selenium import webdriver import pandas pd  def cexscrape():     print('loading chrome...')     chromepath = r"c:\users\leonk\documents\python scripts\chromedriver.exe"     driver = webdriver.chrome(chromepath)      driver.get(url)      print('prepping webpage...')         time.sleep(2)         driver.execute_script("window.scrollto(0, document.body.scrollheight);")      y = 0     breakclause = exceptcheck = false         while y < 1000 , breakclause == false:         y += 1         time.sleep(0.5)         try:             driver.find_element_by_xpath("""//*[@id="showmoreresult"]""").click()             exceptcheck = false             print('load count', y, '...')         except:              if exceptcheck: breakclause = true             else: exceptcheck = true             print('load count', y, '...lag...')             time.sleep(2)             continue      print('grabbing elements...')     posts = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("hotproductdetails")     cats = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("supercatlink")      print('generating lists...')     catlist = []     postlist = []         cat in cats: catlist.append(cat.text)     print('categories complete...')     post in posts: postlist.append(post.text)     print('products complete...')         return postlist, catlist  prods, cats = cexscrape()  print('extracting lists...')  cat = [] subcat = [] prodname = [] sellprice = [] buycash = [] buyvoucher = []  c in cats:      cat.append(c.split('/')[0])     subcat.append(c.split('/')[1])  p in prods:     prodname.append(p.split('\n')[0])     sellprice.append(p.split('\n')[2])     if 'webuy' in p:         buycash.append(p.split('\n')[4])         buyvoucher.append(p.split('\n')[6])     else:         buycash.append('nan')         buyvoucher.append('nan')      print('generating dataframe...')  df = pd.dataframe(         {'category' : cat,          'sub category' : subcat,          'product name' : prodname,          'sell price' : sellprice,          'cash buy price' : buycash,          'voucher buy price' : buyvoucher})  print('writing csv...')  df.to_csv('data.csv', sep=',', encoding='utf-8')  print('completed!')

use xpath , limit products get. if 50 products each time use below

"(//div[@class='hotproductdetails'])[position() > {} , position() <= {}])".format ((page -1 ) * 50, page * 50)

this give 50 products every time , increase page # next lot. doing in 1 go anyways crash it

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
