Question 1: Retrieve the correct course list, with both number and title (parsing)

question 2: Ask User to enter a word to search for - Displays only the courses with the given word.

PLEASE do not use modules like "BeautifulSoup"

so far this is what I have but it is inccorect:

import re
import webbrowser
import urllib.request, ssl

#define the function
def course():
context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
#open site
webpage = urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.sice.indiana.edu/undergraduate/courses/index.html', context = context)
webcontent = webpage.read().decode(errors = 'replace')
webpage.close()
#check the head and body to locate courses
head = re.findall('(?<=<head).+?(?=</head>)',webcontent,re.DOTALL)[0]
body = re.findall('(?<=<body).+?(?=</body>)',webcontent, re.DOTALL)[0]
print("Parsing: https://www.sice.indiana.edu/undergraduate/courses/index.html")
#user_input = input("Please enter a word to search for:")
## print('Head:',head)
## print('Body:',body)
# courses = re.findall('(?<=<meta content=")courses.+?(?= "keywords"/>)',webcontent,re.DOTALL)
courses = re.findall('(?<=<ul class="accordion no-bullet">).+?(?=</ul>)',webcontent,re.DOTALL)[0]

#<ul><li><a href="computer-science.html">Computer Science Courses</a></li>

#courses = re.findall('(?<=<h4)+INFO[w.-](?=</h4>)',webcontent,re.DOTALL)

  
print(courses)
for i in courses:
print(" ",i," ")
