Don't know if anyone has enough experience to comment on "quality" - we'll wait and see. But it's not really the kind of question this list is set up for. Getting data out of a website like Twitter should be done using their API, not by scraping, if at all possible: the API delivers data in a way that Twitter is okay with; scraping is against the terms of service unless you have explicit permission - and don't take that too lightly, LinkedIn has been busy suing people for scraping their site, for example. There are several existing projects that get data out of Twitter which you can search for (look on pypi.org for example, or github). If your objective is a Python learning project you might want to look for some of the tutorials on the subject and avoid ready-made projects. Python Tutor list will be more useful to you if you come with specific coding questions - I tried this and it doesn't work; I don't understand this; etc. Best of luck! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
