I try to find a link with the text "next >" like:
next = soup.find('a', href=True, text='next ›')
print next['href']
But with ">" I getting this error:
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x9b'
How to parse special characters?

Just to be 100% sure, you are aware that the character you are searching on "›" and ">" are not the same? ">" should be an ASCII character – PdevG Jan 31 '17 at 15:41

It appears to work here with Python 3 - https://repl.it/F10b – Josh Crozier Jan 31 '17 at 15:42
