How do I fix this Set function in python

0 votes
I have the following code below I am working on, in order to get the relative links to absolute links, duplicate links out and unique links as my output result into CSV file:-

    import requests
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    import csv

    page = 'https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest.html'
    r = requests.get(page)
    raw_html = r.text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(raw_html, 'html.parser')

    links = soup.find_all("a")
    print('Number of links retrieved: ', len (links))

    Myset = set()
    for link in links:
    hrefs = str(link.get("href"))
    if hrefs.startswith('None'):
    elif hrefs.startswith("#http"):
    Myset.add(hrefs[1:])
    elif hrefs.startswith('#'):
    elif hrefs.startswith('/'):
    Myset.add('https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest.html' + hrefs)
    elif hrefs.endswith('.gov'):
    Myset.add(hrefs + '/')
    else:
    Myset.add(hrefs)

    f = open('Mytest.csv', 'w')
    writer = csv.writer(f, delimiter='', lineterminator='\r')
    Mylist = ()
    ctr = 0
    for x in Myset:
    Mylist.append(x)
    if not Mylist:
    else:
    writer.writerow(Mylist)
    del Mylist(:)
     ctr = 1

But I kept getting errors message like this ones below:

  File "<tokenize>", line 6
    elif hrefs.startswith("#http"):
    ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

                 &

      File "<ipython-input-14-24882d8efa93>", line 5
    elif hrefs.startswith("#http"):
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 I am stuck and getting frustrated.

Hey, @There,

You just have to remove the spacing across all the lines of code in that specific set and space it again with the tabs correctly. This will fix your problem.
