I'm moving on from defaulting to BS4! For the web scraping work i do i am after something fast and a bit more focused, minimal features but still easy to use. there are two options i consider in this video, Parsel from Scrapy, and Selectolax - a wrapper around a C library called Modest, written in cpython. which one do you think i'm going to use...
