Yeah -- but (see below) > This leads me to wonder how you grabbed the "easy" tickets from the > tracker.

It is doing just that to find the IDs to look at. Then it actually scrapes the Trac-rendered HTML because the CSV export (as far as I know) can't tell us answers to questions like, "How many people were active on this bug?" I find that's a useful thing to show off. So it's a combination of both, and we end up with a little more data than the Trac API exports. I'll probably start serving out JSON dumps soon. -- Asheesh. -- "No one gets too old to learn a new way of being stupid." _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
