How to fix AttributeError: type object 'list' has no attribute 'find'"? - python-3.x

Question

from cgitb import text
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
website = 'https://www.marketplacehomes.com/rent-a-home/'
result = requests.get(website)
content = result.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(content, 'html.parser')
lists = soup.find_all('div', class_=('tt-rental-row'))
for list in lists:
location = list.find('span', class_="renta;-adress")
beds = list.find('span', class_="renta;-beds")
baths = list.find('span', class_="renta;-beds")
availability = list.find('span', class_="rental-date-available")
info = [location, beds, baths, availability]
print(info)
If I try to run the last line of code, I get:
"IndentationError: expected an indented block"
If I try to run each indentation separately I get:
">>> location = list.find('span', class_="renta;-adress")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'list' has no attribute 'find'"
I'm new to Python and I'm kinda stuck, can anyone please help me?

Answer 1

Note: Your code never runs the for-loop cause your selection never matches the elements in HTML. They are generated dynamically based on data from another ressource and requests do not render websites like a browser, it only uses static contents from response.
Be aware not to use built-in keywords they will cause errors, especialy in your case list.find() will raise one cause the type object 'list' do not has an attribute called find. You could simply check these things using type()
type(soup)
-> its a bs4.BeautifulSoup
type(soup.find_all('div', class_=('tt-rental-row')))
-> its a bs4.element.ResultSet
type(list)
-> its a type
So how to get your goal?
You could also use pandas to directly create a DataFrame and slice it to your needs:
import pandas as pd
pd.read_json('https://app.tenantturner.com/listings-json/2679')
Output:

Answer 2

Since the word list is a built-in keyword in python you can't use it as variable name try another name
for myList in lists:
location = myList.find('span', class_="renta;-adress")
beds = myList.find('span', class_="renta;-beds")
baths = myList.find('span', class_="renta;-beds")
availability = myList.find('span', class_="rental-date-available")
info = [location, beds, baths, availability]
print(info)
