Re: [BangPypers] How to model these entities?

Hi Abhaya, I believe you are on the right track. While I am not a big fan of singletons (you could use pass the object to each function explicitly), the rest of the design seems sound. You could model your architecture as model classes in Django in a straightforward way. In my opinion, the major

Re: [BangPypers] Compare two htmls for unittest

Hi Noufal, Looks like we already have different style preferences here. So let me throw some more to the mix :) Wearing a functional programmers cap, I would suggest creating one get_stats() function that always returns the stat values as a list. Then, there could be potentially several Higher Or

Hi Akshay, It seems that you need to scrape the webpages and execute the JavaScript somehow. There are several solutions to this. A simple approach is to use the Chrome Inspector and copy the URLs being accessed by JavaScript. Another approach will be to use a headless browser like PhantomJS using
