Tukukkk

I've written a very tiny script using class to scrape some titles of products from craigslist. My intention is to make use of __str__() method so that my script can print the result without explicitly calling that very method.

However, when I execute my script in the following way, I get the desired results.

Is this the only way I can print the result or there is anything better to print the result through dunder str method?

import requests

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup



URL = "http://bangalore.craigslist.co.in/search/rea?s=120"



class DataSourcer:



    def __init__(self,link):

        self.link = link

        self.datalist = 



    def fetch(self):

        res = requests.get(self.link)

        soup = BeautifulSoup(res.text,"lxml")

        for ilink in soup.select("li.result-row a[data-id]"):

            self.datalist.append(ilink.text)



        # return self.datalist #I do not wish to return "self.datalist" here



    def __str__(self):

        return self.datalist



if __name__ == '__main__':    

    crawler = DataSourcer(URL)

    crawler.fetch()

    print(crawler.__str__()) #I found it working this way
