Where is there a public repository of open source Python code?

Question

Hi All,
New to programming, originally drawn to Python because I was checking out Google's ML services and they posted that users would need to know Python. I've been going through the tutorials for it here, but I would like to try it some shortcuts, if possible. I can follow directions pretty good, but most of the open source material out there seems to be intended for experienced coders. I've already tried GitHub, and couldn't find anything I could easily use. Maybe I'm not searching with the right queries. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm interested in code that can pull data from the web and store it in either a Google Sheet or an Excel file. I'm trying to collect information from free people information sites, sites that have phone numbers and addresses, and possibly work information. Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

Web scraping. I’ve done it with just requests and beautifulsoup module. You need some knowledge of html.

Answer 2

pypi is repository for python modules
beautifulsoup 4 is called bs4

Answer 3

I read a little bit of a tutorial on beautifulsoup a little while back, and it looked like you enter a command through Python and download the module and then you can study working with it. this kind of brings me back to my original question: is there a list of modules out there for Python, along with example code for hope to use them?
Thanks for replying.
