Web Scraping with Python: RuntimeError maximum recursion depth exceeded -


i'm trying scape data website updates (here i'm using aapl stock off of yahoo finance). code doesn't run. i've tested every part individually, still error saying "runtimeerror: maximum recursion depth exceeded".
in advance troubleshooting!

import time   import lxml, requests   bs4 import beautifulsoup    url= "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?uhb=uh3_finance_vert&fr=&type=2button&s=aapl"    def printpriceaapl():       r = requests.get(url)       soup = beautifulsoup(r.content, "lxml")       print (soup.find(id="yfs_l84_aapl").string) #id of current stock price       time.sleep(60)    while true:       printpriceaapl()

edit: full error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "c:/users/sjung/documents/printpriceaapl.py", line 15, in <module>     printpriceaapl()   file "c:/users/sjung/documents/printpriceaapl.py", line 11, in printpriceaapl     print (soup.find_all(id="yfs_l84_aapl")[0].string) #id of current stock price   file "c:\python27\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 595, in __call__     value = self.sockio.remotecall(self.oid, self.name, args, kwargs)   file "c:\python27\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 210, in remotecall     seq = self.asynccall(oid, methodname, args, kwargs)   file "c:\python27\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 225, in asynccall     self.putmessage((seq, request))   file "c:\python27\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 324, in putmessage     s = pickle.dumps(message)   file "c:\python27\lib\copy_reg.py", line 74, in _reduce_ex     getstate = self.__getstate__ runtimeerror: maximum recursion depth exceeded

find() searches children recursively. so, find() @ of soup's descendants: children, childrens' children, etc.

each time next level of children examined, "recursion depth" increases run-time stack. if interested in immediate children, find() has recursive=false argument should examine 1 level down.

alternatively, increase recursion depth be careful. reference post: what maximum recursion depth in python, , how increase it?

javascript - Why does running this loop 9 times take 100x longer than running it 8 times? -

consider code: test = function() { } t = new test(); (var = 0; < 8; i++) { result = t instanceof test; } if change number of iterations 8 9 , loop take 100 times longer complete in latest version of firefox (41.0.1). tested on 2 different pcs , magic limit 8. here jsperf test used: http://jsperf.com/instanceof-8-times-vs-9-times does have idea why might happen? seems specific instanceof . not happen if else object, example check property. note: filed bugzilla bug this. jan de mooij mozilla team has posted details in bugzilla thread . here's simplistic interpretation of highly technical answers: in i < 8 case, firefox smart enough hoist result = t instanceof test; statement out of loop (according tests, doesn't seem omit altogether). in i < 9 case, apparently doesn't optimization . why? reason not clear, related fact 9 iterations threshold above function considered "hot" enough run through jit compiler. i < 8 cas...
