Assume that there is a link "http://www.someHTMLPageWithTwoForms.com" which is basically a HTML page having two forms (say Form 1 and Form 2). I have a code like this ...

import httplib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer
h = httplib2.Http('.cache')
response, content = h.request('http://www.someHTMLPageWithTwoForms.com')
for field in BeautifulSoup(content, parseOnlyThese=SoupStrainer('input')):if field.has_key('name'):print field['name']

This returns me all the field names that belong both to the Form 1 and Form 2 of my HTML page. Is there any way I can get only the Field names that belong to a particular form (say Form 2 only)?

If it's only 2 forms you may try this one:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoupforms = BeautifulSoup(content).findAll('form')
for field in forms[1]:if field.has_key('name'):print field['name']

If it's not only about the 2nd form you make it more specific (by an id or class attributs

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoupforms = BeautifulSoup(content).findAll(attrs={'id' : 'yourFormId'})
for field in forms[0]:if field.has_key('name'):print field['name']
