If you have a reliably structured page, then you can write a custom parser. As Steve points out - BeautifulSOup would be a very good place to start.
This is the problem that RSS was designed to solve. Many newssites will supply exactly the information you want as an RSS feed. You should then use Universal Feed Parser to process the feed. The module you need for fecthing the webpages (in case you didn't know) is urllib2. There is a great article on fetching webpages in the current issue of pyzine. See http://www.pyzine.com :-) Regards, Fuzzy http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
