玩转python爬虫之cookie使用方法
之前一篇文章我们学习了爬虫的异常处理问题，那么接下来我们一起来看一下Cookie的使用。
为什么要使用Cookie呢？
Cookie，指某些网站为了辨别用户身份、进行session跟踪而储存在用户本地终端上的数据（通常经过加密）
比如说有些网站需要登录后才能访问某个页面，在登录之前，你想抓取某个页面内容是不允许的。那么我们可以利用Urllib2库保存我们登录的Cookie，然后再抓取其他页面就达到目的了。
在此之前呢，我们必须先介绍一个opener的概念。
1.Opener
当你获取一个URL你使用一个opener(一个urllib2.OpenerDirector的实例)。在前面，我们都是使用的默认的opener，也就是urlopen。它是一个特殊的opener，可以理解成opener的一个特殊实例，传入的参数仅仅是url，data，timeout。
如果我们需要用到Cookie，只用这个opener是不能达到目的的，所以我们需要创建更一般的opener来实现对Cookie的设置。
2.Cookielib
cookielib模块的主要作用是提供可存储cookie的对象，以便于与urllib2模块配合使用来访问Internet资源。Cookielib模块非常强大，我们可以利用本模块的CookieJar类的对象来捕获cookie并在后续连接请求时重新发送，比如可以实现模拟登录功能。该模块主要的对象有CookieJar、FileCookieJar、MozillaCookieJar、LWPCookieJar。
它们的关系：CookieJar —-派生—->FileCookieJar —-派生—–>MozillaCookieJar和LWPCookieJar
1）获取Cookie保存到变量
首先，我们先利用CookieJar对象实现获取cookie的功能，存储到变量中，先来感受一下
import urllib2
import cookielib
#声明一个CookieJar对象实例来保存cookie
cookie = cookielib.CookieJar()
#利用urllib2库的HTTPCookieProcessor对象来创建cookie处理器
handler=urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookie)
#通过handler来构建opener
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
#此处的open方法同urllib2的urlopen方法，也可以传入request
response = opener.open('http://www.baidu.com')
for item in cookie:
print 'Name = '+item.name
print 'Value = '+item.value
我们使用以上方法将cookie保存到变量中，然后打印出了cookie中的值，运行结果如下
Name = BAIDUID Value = B07B663B645729F11F659C02AAE65B4C:FG=1 Name = BAIDUPSID Value = B07B663B645729F11F659C02AAE65B4C Name = H_PS_PSSID Value = 12527_11076_1438_10633 Name = BDSVRTM Value = 0 Name = BD_HOME Value = 0
2）保存Cookie到文件
在上面的方法中，我们将cookie保存到了cookie这个变量中，如果我们想将cookie保存到文件中该怎么做呢？这时，我们就要用到
FileCookieJar这个对象了，在这里我们使用它的子类MozillaCookieJar来实现Cookie的保存
import cookielib
import urllib2
#设置保存cookie的文件，同级目录下的cookie.txt
filename = 'cookie.txt'
#声明一个MozillaCookieJar对象实例来保存cookie，之后写入文件
cookie = cookielib.MozillaCookieJar(filename)
#利用urllib2库的HTTPCookieProcessor对象来创建cookie处理器
handler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookie)
#通过handler来构建opener
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
#创建一个请求，原理同urllib2的urlopen
response = opener.open("http://www.baidu.com")
#保存cookie到文件
cookie.save(ignore_discard=True, ignore_expires=True)
关于最后save方法的两个参数在此说明一下：
官方解释如下：
ignore_discard: save even cookies set to be discarded.
ignore_expires: save even cookies that have expiredThe file is overwritten if it already exists
由此可见，ignore_discard的意思是即使cookies将被丢弃也将它保存下来，ignore_expires的意思是如果在该文件中cookies已经存在，则覆盖原文件写入，在这里，我们将这两个全部设置为True。运行之后，cookies将被保存到cookie.txt文件中，我们查看一下内容，附图如下
3）从文件中获取Cookie并访问
那么我们已经做到把Cookie保存到文件中了，如果以后想使用，可以利用下面的方法来读取cookie并访问网站，感受一下
import cookielib
import urllib2
#创建MozillaCookieJar实例对象
cookie = cookielib.MozillaCookieJar()
#从文件中读取cookie内容到变量
cookie.load('cookie.txt', ignore_discard=True, ignore_expires=True)
#创建请求的request
req = urllib2.Request("http://www.baidu.com")
#利用urllib2的build_opener方法创建一个opener
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookie))
response = opener.open(req)
print response.read()
设想，如果我们的 cookie.txt 文件中保存的是某个人登录百度的cookie，那么我们提取出这个cookie文件内容，就可以用以上方法模拟这个人的账号登录百度。
4）利用cookie模拟网站登录
下面我们以我们学校的教育系统为例，利用cookie实现模拟登录，并将cookie信息保存到文本文件中，来感受一下cookie大法吧！
注意：密码我改了啊，别偷偷登录本宫的选课系统 o(╯□╰)o
import urllib
import urllib2
import cookielib
filename = 'cookie.txt'
#声明一个MozillaCookieJar对象实例来保存cookie，之后写入文件
cookie = cookielib.MozillaCookieJar(filename)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookie))
postdata = urllib.urlencode({
'stuid':'201200131012',
'pwd':'23342321'
})
#登录教务系统的URL
loginUrl = 'http://jwxt.sdu.edu.cn:7890/pls/wwwbks/bks_login2.login'
#模拟登录，并把cookie保存到变量
result = opener.open(loginUrl,postdata)
#保存cookie到cookie.txt中
cookie.save(ignore_discard=True, ignore_expires=True)
#利用cookie请求访问另一个网址，此网址是成绩查询网址
gradeUrl = 'http://jwxt.sdu.edu.cn:7890/pls/wwwbks/bkscjcx.curscopre'
#请求访问成绩查询网址
result = opener.open(gradeUrl)
print result.read()
以上程序的原理如下
创建一个带有cookie的opener，在访问登录的URL时，将登录后的cookie保存下来，然后利用这个cookie来访问其他网址。
如登录之后才能查看的成绩查询呀，本学期课表呀等等网址，模拟登录就这么实现啦，是不是很酷炫？
好，小伙伴们要加油哦！我们现在可以顺利获取网站信息了，接下来就是把网站里面有效内容提取出来，下一篇文章我们去会会正则表达式！

How to open xml format
Apr 02, 2025 pm 09:00 PM
Use most text editors to open XML files; if you need a more intuitive tree display, you can use an XML editor, such as Oxygen XML Editor or XMLSpy; if you process XML data in a program, you need to use a programming language (such as Python) and XML libraries (such as xml.etree.ElementTree) to parse.
Is there a free XML to PDF tool for mobile phones?
Apr 02, 2025 pm 09:12 PM
There is no simple and direct free XML to PDF tool on mobile. The required data visualization process involves complex data understanding and rendering, and most of the so-called "free" tools on the market have poor experience. It is recommended to use computer-side tools or use cloud services, or develop apps yourself to obtain more reliable conversion effects.
Is there any mobile app that can convert XML into PDF?
Apr 02, 2025 pm 08:54 PM
An application that converts XML directly to PDF cannot be found because they are two fundamentally different formats. XML is used to store data, while PDF is used to display documents. To complete the transformation, you can use programming languages and libraries such as Python and ReportLab to parse XML data and generate PDF documents.
How to convert XML to PDF on your phone?
Apr 02, 2025 pm 10:18 PM
It is not easy to convert XML to PDF directly on your phone, but it can be achieved with the help of cloud services. It is recommended to use a lightweight mobile app to upload XML files and receive generated PDFs, and convert them with cloud APIs. Cloud APIs use serverless computing services, and choosing the right platform is crucial. Complexity, error handling, security, and optimization strategies need to be considered when handling XML parsing and PDF generation. The entire process requires the front-end app and the back-end API to work together, and it requires some understanding of a variety of technologies.
Does XML modification require programming?
Apr 02, 2025 pm 06:51 PM
Modifying XML content requires programming, because it requires accurate finding of the target nodes to add, delete, modify and check. The programming language has corresponding libraries to process XML and provides APIs to perform safe, efficient and controllable operations like operating databases.
Recommended XML formatting tool
Apr 02, 2025 pm 09:03 PM
XML formatting tools can type code according to rules to improve readability and understanding. When selecting a tool, pay attention to customization capabilities, handling of special circumstances, performance and ease of use. Commonly used tool types include online tools, IDE plug-ins, and command-line tools.
How to beautify the XML format
Apr 02, 2025 pm 09:57 PM
XML beautification is essentially improving its readability, including reasonable indentation, line breaks and tag organization. The principle is to traverse the XML tree, add indentation according to the level, and handle empty tags and tags containing text. Python's xml.etree.ElementTree library provides a convenient pretty_xml() function that can implement the above beautification process.
How to convert XML files to PDF on your phone?
Apr 02, 2025 pm 10:12 PM
It is impossible to complete XML to PDF conversion directly on your phone with a single application. It is necessary to use cloud services, which can be achieved through two steps: 1. Convert XML to PDF in the cloud, 2. Access or download the converted PDF file on the mobile phone.
