I knew the export existed, but my understanding was that it was ill-formed as in truncated since it didn't have a close tag on the outermost XML tag. So I thought that the data was incomplete and thus the dump was mostly useless. Martin got another dump, and I asked if it contained all the data but just with a bad format, and he said he wasn't sure. That's why I was still planning on possibly writing a scraper if we didn't validate that the dump had all the tracker items. > > Anybody who wants to work with these data, please let me know; > > I made a snapshot a few days ago. > > the scraper I wrote in response to Brett's post has successfully down- > loaded 80% of the data at this very moment (including attachments), > so I'll probably keep playing with that one instead... I'll reply to this in the other email you sent. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
