NoneType object is not callable error on a full dictionary, stackoverflow fatal error

Question

Im trying to make a web-scraping script. I’m bumping into an error and cant seem to figure out why.
I’m using spyder IDE, so all the variables are shown in variable explorer.
My code is as follows

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


root = "https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t="


tickers = ['AMZN', 'GS']

news_tables = {}
for ticker in tickers:
    url = root + ticker
    req = Request(url=url, headers={'user-agent': 'dirty-30'})
    response = urlopen(req)
    #print(response)
    html = BeautifulSoup(response, 'html')
   # print(html)
    news_table = html.find(id='news-table')
    news_tables[ticker] = news_table
    

amzn_data = news_tables['AMZN']
amzn_rows = amzn_data.findALL('tr')
print(news_tables)

I get back error

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Exception in comms call get_value:

  File "C:UsersaustiAnaconda3libsite-packagesspyder_kernelscommscommbase.py", line 347, in _handle_remote_call

    raise pickle.PicklingError(msg) from e

_pickle.PicklingError: Could not pickle object as excessively deep recursion required.

I tried adding

sys.setrecursionlimit(30000000)

When I attempt to open the
news_tables which is type=dict, I get a stack overflow message and the kernel restarts.
What am I missing here? I think the nontype error stems from the stack overflow breaking the variable so it just deletes the dict causing an empty dict aka nonetype…

Why am I getting a stack overflow? This shouldn’t be that much data? One scrape of one page?
If my understanding of stack overflow is correct then all i can think of is there is somehow an infinite loop gathering the same data until i hit the pickling error ? I have several TB of mem on my system, have tons of RAM.

I’m perplexed any insights? I’ve restarted anaconda as a whole, my spyder is up to date.

Thanks.

Just replace

[...]
html = BeautifulSoup(response, 'html')
[...]
amzn_rows = amzn_data.findALL('tr')

with

[...]
html = BeautifulSoup(response, 'html.parser')
[...]
amzn_rows = amzn_data.find_all('tr')
