hi I am trying to write an application that checks a web page today and again checks it after somedays and compares them.For this purpose I need to store the page data on these 2 occassions in my program .
How can I do this?I can get the page data of current moment as a string using urllib.urlopen and store it in a variable, say current_page_data.But ,how do I store yesterday's data so that I can compare the two?Do I need to store it as a field in database?(I am not very familiar with database programming..I am using postgres for web app development with django.So I don't know if storing such a large string like that is possible). I considered writing the data to a file..but suppose a lot of users want to do the comparison of 2 versions of many pages..?I would be creating so many files =usercount * number_of_url_by_each_user .If the time duration between 2 comparisons was some seconds/minutes then I can just use 2 local variables andmay not need persistence.But ,to compare data of yesterday and today I may need some such mechanism.. I guess this may be a common problem and there may some solution for this. Can someone comment/suggest how this can be done? thanks jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
