I was wondering if python is a good language to build a web crawler with? For example, to construct a program that will routinely search x amount of sites to check the availability of a product. Or to search for news articles containing the word 'XYZ'. These are just random ideas to try to explain my question a bit further. Well if you have an opinion about this please let me know becasue I am very interested to hear what you have to say. Thanks.
