Lab
This week's lab is on web scraping, which was covered earlier in the course. As is the way with web scraping, the site that we scraped is now no longer in the same format, so some examples in the original lab don't work. There are still some useful nuggets there, including on how to do web scraping ethically and on the BeautifulSoup package. We'll try to fix the lab, but it may not happen quickly.
