Forums: Python Challenge Forums, read before you post. IRC: irc.freenode.net #pythonchallenge

To see the solutions to the previous level, replace pc with pcc, i.e. go to: www.pythonchallenge.com/pcc/def/ocr…

题目解法 提示要查看网页源代码。 发现源代码中有提示和一串乱码，提示如下： find rare characters in the mess below:

下面先爬取网页，用正则匹配出乱码，然后提取乱码中的字母并打印：

from urllib import request
import re

# 获取html源代码
url = 'http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/ocr.html'
response = request.urlopen(url)
text = str(response.read())

# 获取乱码字符串
pattern = re.compile(r'<!--(.+?)-->')
result = pattern.findall(text)
result = result[1]
# 去除换行符\n
result = result.replace(r'\n', '')

# 查找字母
characters = re.findall(r'[a-zA-Z]+', result)
msg = ''.join(characters)
print(msg)

得到结果 equality ，老方法修改 URL ，放入浏览器回车： www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/equa…
