Psycopg2 TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting without ORM












0















Trying out a simple script that saves data from beautifulsoup in a postgresql database, getting a bug.



from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1125968/how-do-i-force-git-pull-to-overwrite-local-files'
page = urlopen(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'html.parser')

In [38]: type(soup)
Out[38]: bs4.BeautifulSoup

In [39]: type(soup.text)
Out[39]: str

con = psycopg2.connect("host='localhost' dbname='google_crawl' user='crawler' password='postgres'")
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("CREATE TABLE Products(Id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, website VARCHAR(20), html_code VARCHAR)")

In [36]: cur.execute("INSERT INTO Products (Id, website, html_code) VALUES(%s, %s)", ('1', 'test.com
...: ', str(soup.text)))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-36-4e9b298d0ce2> in <module>
----> 1 cur.execute("INSERT INTO Products (Id, website, html_code) VALUES(%s, %s)", ('1', 'test.com', str(soup.text)))

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


The error states it failed to convert one of the data into string, however i can't tell why in particular, even putting dummy text instead of soup returns the same error.
