Try urllib2 to fetch the data, use either string-search, regular expressions or even BeautifulSoup to extract the data. Use a cron-job to do that on a regular base or use module time.sleep() together with an endless loop to monitor that location periodically. Show us your concrete efforts, and we will suggest improvements. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
