That sounds like an even better option. Anything that depends on parsing a wiki is vulnerable to format changes at a moment's notice, even worse than other web page parsing. > But the idea to extract an HTML table from a webpage in a structured format > could be an interesting (and useful) project idea. There are, unfortunately, too many different ways this can be done. Too many differences in HTML that a human eye would read as the same thing. I'd recommend either BeautifulSoup or specifically looking at the HTML to be parsed and finding a shortcut from that. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
