I think both posted examples would be valuable on the page, with proper disclaimers. Feel free to post them: http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms Without having used either library, it seems the older module is a bit more difficult to use for simple examples, but it is more robust in the face of real-world non-XML-compliant HTML, and it obviously more readibly usable for folks with older Python versions (which could even include newbies who are squatting on somebody else's machine). The newer module is easier to use in some cases, but it has the limitations of assuming some level of XML compliance and the availability of 2.5. Is there a third, better alternative out there somewhere? Also, is there a way to rewrite Rob's program so that it seems a little more straightforward, or was that necessary complexity even for the problem at hand? ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message.
