Access Next Sibling Element With Beautifulsoup

I am completely new to web parsing with Python/BeautifulSoup. I have an HTML that has (part of) the code as follows:

• Copy

  next_li_element would become None if the page corresponds to the last active li:

  if next_li_element isNone:
      # no more pages to go

Solution 2:

Have you looked at dir(page) or the documentation? If so, how did you miss .find_next_sibling()?

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
importrelandingPage= urllib2.urlopen('somepage.com').read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(landingPage)

pageList = soup.find("div", {"id": "pages"})

page = pageList.find("li", {"class": "active"})
sibling = page.find_next_sibling()
