This allows importer.py to process Netscape HTML exports from Firefox
(and other Mozilla browsers) with three distinct types:
* bookmarks (sans shortcuturl attribute)
* keywords (bookmarks with a shortcuturl attribute)
* searches (keywords with a URL containing a %s substitution)
The first two can be combined at will in either quickmark or bookmark
output formats, the only difference being that keywords will be used in
place of titles when exporting to quickmark format. Searches are
exported to qutebrowser.conf format, or the new config.py format.
Dictionaries are used in the import function for readability's sake, but
the command line arguments follow the same general formula of true-false
flags used to select input bookmark types and the output format.
Upstream changelog:
Especially important changes:
* Added a warning when you instantiate a BeautifulSoup object without
explicitly naming a parser. [bug=1398866]
* __repr__ now returns an ASCII bytestring in Python 2, and a Unicode
string in Python 3, instead of a UTF8-encoded bytestring in both
versions. In Python 3, __str__ now returns a Unicode string instead
of a bytestring. [bug=1420131]
* The `text` argument to the find_* methods is now called `string`,
which is more accurate. `text` still works, but `string` is the
argument described in the documentation. `text` may eventually
change its meaning, but not for a very long time. [bug=1366856]
* Changed the way soup objects work under copy.copy(). Copying a
NavigableString or a Tag will give you a new NavigableString that's
equal to the old one but not connected to the parse tree. Patch by
Martijn Peters. [bug=1307490]
* Started using a standard MIT license. [bug=1294662]
* Added a Chinese translation of the documentation by Delong .w.
New features:
* Introduced the select_one() method, which uses a CSS selector but
only returns the first match, instead of a list of
matches. [bug=1349367]
* You can now create a Tag object without specifying a
TreeBuilder. Patch by Martijn Pieters. [bug=1307471]
* You can now create a NavigableString or a subclass just by invoking
the constructor. [bug=1294315]
* Added an `exclude_encodings` argument to UnicodeDammit and to the
Beautiful Soup constructor, which lets you prohibit the detection of
an encoding that you know is wrong. [bug=1469408]
* The select() method now supports selector grouping. Patch by
Francisco Canas [bug=1191917]
Bug fixes:
* Fixed yet another problem that caused the html5lib tree builder to
create a disconnected parse tree. [bug=1237763]
* Force object_was_parsed() to keep the tree intact even when an element
from later in the document is moved into place. [bug=1430633]
* Fixed yet another bug that caused a disconnected tree when html5lib
copied an element from one part of the tree to another. [bug=1270611]
* Fixed a bug where Element.extract() could create an infinite loop in
the remaining tree.
* The select() method can now find tags whose names contain
dashes. Patch by Francisco Canas. [bug=1276211]
* The select() method can now find tags with attributes whose names
contain dashes. Patch by Marek Kapolka. [bug=1304007]
* Improved the lxml tree builder's handling of processing
instructions. [bug=1294645]
* Restored the helpful syntax error that happens when you try to
import the Python 2 edition of Beautiful Soup under Python
3. [bug=1213387]
* In Python 3.4 and above, set the new convert_charrefs argument to
the html.parser constructor to avoid a warning and future
failures. Patch by Stefano Revera. [bug=1375721]
* The warning when you pass in a filename or URL as markup will now be
displayed correctly even if the filename or URL is a Unicode
string. [bug=1268888]
* If the initial <html> tag contains a CDATA list attribute such as
'class', the html5lib tree builder will now turn its value into a
list, as it would with any other tag. [bug=1296481]
* Fixed an import error in Python 3.5 caused by the removal of the
HTMLParseError class. [bug=1420063]
* Improved docstring for encode_contents() and
decode_contents(). [bug=1441543]
* Fixed a crash in Unicode, Dammit's encoding detector when the name
of the encoding itself contained invalid bytes. [bug=1360913]
* Improved the exception raised when you call .unwrap() or
.replace_with() on an element that's not attached to a tree.
* Raise a NotImplementedError whenever an unsupported CSS pseudoclass
is used in select(). Previously some cases did not result in a
NotImplementedError.
* It's now possible to pickle a BeautifulSoup object no matter which
tree builder was used to create it. However, the only tree builder
that survives the pickling process is the HTMLParserTreeBuilder
('html.parser'). If you unpickle a BeautifulSoup object created with
some other tree builder, soup.builder will be None. [bug=1231545]
for importing bookmarks n stuff
currently supports chromium bookmarks
usage:
in chromium: export your bookmarks to html file (bookmark manager)
./importer.py chromium bookmarks_10_11_14.html >> ~/.config/qutebrowser/quickmarks
