Read() >>>print len(html) 47020 We don't have any clue about the kind of topics that are discussed in this URL, so let's start with an exploratory data analysis (EDA). Typically in a text domain, EDA can have many meanings, but will go with a simple case of what kinds of terms dominate the document. What are the topics? How frequent they are? The process will involve some level of preprocessing steps. We will try to do this first in a pure Python way, and then we will do it using NLTK. Let's start with cleaning the html tags.

For example, in the case of a csv file, Python's csv module is the most robust way of handling the csv file. It allows you to play with different splitters, different quote characters, and so on. The other most commonly used files are json. For example, json looks like: { "array": [1,2,3,4], "boolean": True, "object": { "a": "b" }, "string": "Hello World" } Let's say we want to process the string. load(jsonfile) >>>print data['string'] "Hello World" We are just loading a json file using the json module.
