Hello, Does anyone know of an example, however modest, of a screenscraper authored in python? I am using Firefox.
Basically, I am answering problems via my browser and being scored for each problem. I have a tendency to go past my peak for training efficiency, so I would like to scrape the result page for each problem I answer, compile statistics, and have a program alert me when I should stop (based on score and accuracy--assuming training value is related to changes in these metrics). I have no idea how to go about writing such a beast and I am hoping that I could get some pointers or an example that could get me going in the right direction. Parsing, etc, is not a problem, but I'm not exactly sure how I might interface python with Firefox, forwarding scraped pages to my browser (or forwarding from the browser to the scraper). Thanks in advance for any help or advice. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
