Re: Get my airlines boarding pass
Good idea - I just bought the 2nd edition of the book and it is very good. Will check it out.

Re: Get my airlines boarding pass
I posted it on activestate already ... sorry. I would like for the geniuses here to use it and improve upon it so here is the activestate post URL: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/496790 Enjoy.

Re: Get my airlines boarding pass
Okay, so too bad I didn't know about this before I wrote the 75 lines of code based on HTMLParser. That said, it still wasn't that hard and most of all it is done and it works so I won't be rewriting it. I did check it out and it seems quite powerful. I'll add it to my library of tools to use for the next python project. Thanks for the tip. - Ken Jonathan Ellis wrote: > KenAggie wrote: > > I posted it on activestate already ... sorry.

Re: Screen Scraping for Modern Applications?
I just learned about a python library called BeautifulSoup in a thread responding to my Southwest Airlines script that I wrote and posted on the Python cookbook web site. I wrote my script using the provided HTMLParser class. BeautifulSoup could have saved me some time perhaps. Take a look. Feel free to browse my code for an example of how to use HTMLParser for a moderately involved project.

Re: Evaluating a Function After X Seconds: Python Equivalent to JavaScript's SetTimeout() Function
Yea -- the "sched" class is exactly what you need. Just import sched and then use it to schedule a function call in the future, either using relative time or an absolute time. The python help file tells you how in detail. - Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > Not exactly new to Python, just have not programmed a time dependent > function using it before. > > I imagine that many of you may also program some JavaScript and may be > familiar with JavaScript's SetTimeout( expression, after time interval > in milliseconds) function.
