Wikimedia does a fantastic job, for free, and automated screen-scraping
hurts their ability to provide that service. It is rude and anti-social.
Please don't do it.

Hi Friends,

After playing with this, it seems the key is to pass objects to the ANSI
terminal via the following:
import ANSI
crt = ANSI.ANSI(25,80)
head_output = ["line 1 ABCDEFGHIJKL", "line 2 ABCDEFGHIJKL",
"line 3 ABCDEFGHIJKL", "line 4 ABCDEFGHIJKL",
"line 5 ABCDEFGHIJKL", "
I am taking a step back, and just get something simple working with ANSI.
The following code works (creates the ANSI terminal object, and inserts a
few characters, and scrap the characters back).
import ANSI
crt = ANSI.ANSI(25,80)
crt.insert_abs(2,2,"a")
crt.insert_abs(3,10,"b")
crt.insert_abs(
Using the below script, I can use pexpect to correctly output the entire
remote terminal content to screen.
At this point, I am running into difficulty to scrap the screen, for the
screen elements that I want. (Say: the screen region from the complete 3rd
line to the 8th line.) I believe I need t

Hi...
got a short test app that i'm playing with. the goal is to get data off the
page in question.
basically, i should be able to get a list of "tr" nodes, and then to
iterate/parse them. i'm missing something, as i think i can get a single
node, but i can't figure out how to display the content

I am trying to make a bot for a flash game using python. However I am

accepted way to compare a full screenshot with the image that I want

Hi,
Can anyone help me out here. I would like to authenticate myself to
a website which uses HTTPS and then after authentication, I would like
to get the contents of the webpage. How can this be done using python.
I have tried urllib and urllib2 but it has not solved my problem.

Since you mention XPath, it seems likely you are really interested in
*web-scraping*.

Hi..
I'm not that familiar with Pythin, but I wasn wondering if there are any
