Perl has a function which will take a remote directory page, in the form that most web sites return for a file directory, and parse it into a useful form:
http://www.xav.com/perl/site/lib/File/Listing.html This is especially useful for FTP sites. Is there a Python equivalent of this? I'm converting some old Perl code. Even the Python FTP module doesn't have a directory parser. John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
