[Solved] How can I extract the title from a URL in Python without using any external module?

by


Let html be an HTML string (say, the HTML source of this particular page). You can find the opening and closing tags with str.find(). The string is converted to the lower case to allow case-insensitive search.

start = html.lower().find('<title>') + len('<title>')
end = html.lower().find('</title>')

You can then extract the part of the HTML string between the tags:

html[start:end]
#'How can I extract the title from a URL in Python without using any...'
