"""Baby Names exercise
Define the extract_names() function below and change main()
to call it.
For writing regex, it's nice to include a copy of the target
text for inspiration.
Here's what the html looks like in the baby.html files:
...
Popularity in 1990
....
1 | Michael | Jessica |
2 | Christopher | Ashley |
3 | Matthew | Brittany |
...
Suggested milestones for incremental development:
-Extract the year and print it
-Extract the names and rank numbers and just print them
-Get the names data into a dict and print it
-Build the [year, 'name rank', ... ] list and print it
-Fix main() to use the extract_names list
"""
def extract_names(filename):
"""
Given a file name for baby.html, returns a list starting with the year string
followed by the name-rank strings in alphabetical order.
['2006', 'Aaliyah 91', Aaron 57', 'Abagail 895', ' ...]
