csessig86 / Iowa caucus location scraper

Created January 4, 2012 23:00

This Python code goes through the Iowa GOP's website (actually the info was pulled from the GOP site and posted on my personal site after I cleaned it up a bit), scrapes caucus locations and exports it into a TSV. Based on a tutorial from BuzzData

	# Scraper based on this tutorial from BuzzData:
	# http://blog.buzzdata.com/post/11871523667/how-to-scrape-toronto-data-a-basic-tutorial

	import urllib2
	from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

	# Create a file called "ward_pop.tsv" where we'll save our data
	f = open('caucus_locations02.tsv', 'w')

	# Make a header row: locationname (tab) precinct (tab) address (tab) address2
