ratebeer 2.3.1

ratebeer.py===========What is this?-------------`RateBeer <http://www.ratebeer.com/>`__ is a database of user-createdreviews about beers and breweries. However, their API has been down forsome time, making it difficult to get that information programmatically.This simplifies that process, allowing you to access it in the mostpainless way possible. Data is returned to you in a friendly, Pythonicway:.. code:: python >>> import ratebeer >>> rb = ratebeer.RateBeer() >>> rb.search('Summit') {'beers': [<Beer('/beer/21st-amendment-summit-ipa/61118/')>, <Beer('/beer/4ts-summit-hoppy/258783/')>, ... <Beer('/beer/karben4--summit-maccc-daddy-hophead-red-ale/264171/')>, <Beer('/beer/keroche-summit-lager/146462/')>], 'breweries': [<Brewery('/brewers/sound-to-summit-brewing/22497/')>, <Brewery('/brewers/summit-brewing-company/1233/')>, ... <Brewery('/brewers/summit-hard-cider-and-perry/18260/')>, <Brewery('/brewers/summit-station-restaurant-brewery/346/')>]}Why not BeerAdvocate.com?-------------------------Because they're evil, and they issue takedown notices left and right. Welike RateBeer. Scratch that, we **love** RateBeer.Requirements------------Requires `requests[security] <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests>`__,`beautifulsoup4 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4/4.3.2>`__,and `lxml <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.4.1>`__.Installation------------Use ``pip``::: pip install ratebeerOr clone the package::: git clone https://github.com/alilja/ratebeer.gitUsage-----Because ``ratebeer.py`` does not use an API, since one is not provided,no key is required. Simply:.. code:: python >>> import ratebeer >>> rb = ratebeer.RateBeer() >>> rb.search("summit extra pale ale")``RateBeer`` Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Methods**- ``get_beer`` -- Pass in the URL for a beer page and this function will return a ``Beer`` object containing information about the beer. In addition the the URL, it accepts an optional ``fetch`` argument (default: False), which can be set to true to immediately download the object's attributes. See the ``Beer`` class below. You can replicate the ``RateBeer.beer(URL)`` functionality using ``RateBeer.get_beer(URL, True).__dict__``.- ``beer`` -- Returns a dictionary with information about that beer... code:: python >>> rb.beer("/beer/new-belgium-tour-de-fall/279122/") {'_has_fetched': True, 'abv': 6.0, 'brewed_at': None, 'brewery': <Brewery('/brewers/new-belgium-brewing-company/77/')>, 'calories': 180, 'description': 'New Belgium\x92s love for beer, bikes and benefits is best ' 'described by being at Tour de Fat.

In addition the the URL, it accepts an optional ``fetch`` argument (default: False), which can be set to true to immediately download the object's attributes. See the ``Brewery`` class below. You can replicate the ``RateBeer.brewery(URL)`` functionality using ``RateBeer.get_brewery(URL, True).__dict__``.- ``brewery`` -- Returns a dictionary with information about the brewery. Includes a 'get\_beers()' generator that provides information about the brewery's beers... code:: python >>> rb.brewery("/brewers/deschutes-brewery/233/") {'_has_fetched': True, 'city': 'Bend', 'country': 'USA', 'name': 'Deschutes Brewery', 'postal_code': '97702', 'state': 'Oregon', 'street': '901 SW Simpson Ave', 'telephone': '(541) 385-8606', 'type': 'Microbrewery', 'url': '/brewers/deschutes-brewery/233/', 'web': 'http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/'}- ``search`` -- A generic search. A dictionary with two keys: beers and breweries.

Takes a ``url`` to a beer style and an optional ``sort_type``: ``overall`` returns the highest-rated beers (default behavior) and ``trending`` returns, well, the trending beers... code:: python >>> [b for b in rb.beer_style("/beerstyles/abbey-dubbel/71/")] [<Beer('/beer/st-bernardus-prior-8/2531/')>, <Beer('/beer/westmalle-dubbel/2205/')>, ... <Beer('/beer/weyerbacher-althea/230962/')>, <Beer('/beer/cricket-hill-small-batch-belgian-dubbel/143244/')>]``Beer`` Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``Beer`` requires the url of the beer you're looking for, like``RateBeer.beer`` and ``RateBeer.get_beer``.**Attributes**- ``abv`` (float): percentage alcohol- ``brewery`` (string): the name of the beer's brewery- ``brewery`` (Brewery object): the beer's brewery- ``brewed_at`` (Brewery object): actual brewery if contract brewed- ``calories`` (float): estimated calories for the beer- ``description`` (string): the beer's description- ``img_url`` (string): a url to an image of the beer- ``mean_rating`` (float): the mean rating for the beer (out of 5)- ``name`` (string): the full name of the beer (may include the brewery name)- ``num_ratings`` (int): the number of reviews- ``overall_rating`` (int): the overall rating (out of 100)- ``seasonal`` (string): Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring, Series, Special, None- ``style`` (string): beer style- ``style_url`` (string): beer style URL- ``style_rating`` (int): rating of the beer within its style (out of 100)- ``url`` (string): the url of the beer's ratebeer page- ``tags`` (list of strings): tags given to the beer- ``weighted_avg`` (float): the beer rating average, weighted using some unknown algorithm (out of 5)Any attributes not available will be returned as None**Methods**- ``get_reviews`` -- Returns a generator of ``Review`` objects for all the reviews in the beer. Takes a ``review_order`` argument, which can be "most recent", "top raters", or "highest score".``Review`` Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``Review`` returns a datatype that contains information about a specificreview. For efficiency reasons, it requires the soup of the individualreview. Probably best to not try to make one yourself: use``beer.get_reviews`` instead.**Attributes**- ``appearance`` (int): rating for appearance (out of 5)- ``aroma`` (int): aroma rating (out of 10)- ``date`` (datetime): review date- ``overall`` (int): overall rating (out of 20, for some reason)- ``palate`` (int): palate rating (out of 5)- ``rating`` (float): another overall rating provided in the review.

Some brewery pages list beers that are produced by do not have any pages, ratings, or information besides a name. For now, these beers are omitted from the results.Tests-----``ratebeer`` uses the standard Python unit testing library.Changes-------Note that the nature of web scraping means this might break at **any**time.v2.3.1~~~~- Overhauled the Beer object so that it will be a little easier to fix with future changes. Beer object now also returns Brewery objects rather than strings for the brewery and brewed_at attributes. Also returns the url for the image of the beer and a list of user-assigned tags. The test.py file has been updated to be a bit clearer about where failures occur.v2.3~~~~- Fixes to work with the new RateBeer search page.v2.2.1~~~~~~- ``Beer`` and ``Brewery`` objects are now "lazy", meaning they will not fetch the RateBeer page unless the requested attributes are not available. This should help minimize unnecessary requests.- ``RateBeer.search()`` now returns two lists of ``Beer`` and ``Brewery`` objects.- ``RateBeer.beer_style_list()`` now returns ``Beer`` and ``Brewery`` objects.- ``Beer`` and ``Brewery`` objects now allow custom attributes to be set.v2.1~~~~- Bugfixes and performance enhancements.- Python 3 compatibility.v2.0~~~~Major changes.- New ``Beer``, ``Review``, and ``Brewery`` classes.- Substantial overhaul in ``ratebeer.py``, addition of new files including separation of responsibilities- New generator functions in new classes.v1.4~~~~- ``reviews`` is now a generator.v1.3.5~~~~~~- Several improvements to results, particularly for edge cases and situations where search results are not in the expected order.v1.3.4~~~~~~- Metadata for beers returns floats when appropriate.v1.3.3~~~~~~- Captures more meta data.- Plays better with foreign beers.- Now if information is missing from a beer entry, its key is not added to the ``beer`` output.v1.3.2~~~~~~- Captures aliases for beer names.v1.3~~~~- Added ``beer_style_list`` and ``beer_style``.v1.2~~~~- Everything conforms to PEP8 now. Thanks to the fine folks `here <http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/69909/ratebeer-com-scraper>`__.- Minor refactoring.v1.1~~~~- Added ``reviews``.- Better exceptions (no more ``LookupError`` for 404s)v1.0~~~~- Initial release.License-------**Creator**: Andrew Lilja**Contributors**: \* Vincent Castellano(@`Surye <https://github.com/Surye>`__) - Python 2 and 3 compatability\* Steven A.
