Re: [Tutor] html table parse

2012-11-07 Thread Christopher Conner

 Hi ALL,
 
 I tied to use python to do some html parsing. More specifically, I want to
 extract data from some html tables. Could you give me some suggestions which
 library should use? I tried Beautiful Soup, but I couldn't find anything to
 do with table parsing.
 
 Thanks !

Python has a native HTML parser.

Bob,

Fascinating - I am intrigued. I'll do some historical research in the mean  
time; please let me know how to get started.


Thank you very much,

Chris

I head an open-source project Python Pipelines and am currently  
seeking folk like you who have some computer background and a desire to  
contribute.


I am creating a pure Python cross-platform version of IBM's CMS/TSO  
Pipelilnes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmann_pipeline for a  
description of IBM's project.


There are many folk who (like me) work(ed) at IBM; encountered  
Pipeliines and became happily dependent on it for solving problems with  
ease. When we were not at IBM we wondered where is Pipelines for my PC?


Others have created PC versions, so mine is not the only one. I think  
mine has some special features and will find good use once it is  
releasable.


The only publicly accessible site for this project is at  
http://code.google.com/p/python-pipelines


There is no code there, just another description. Please read it.

This project involves (of course) Python, regular expressions, parsing,  
dynamically linking class instances, threads, etc etc.


Would you like a more in-depth look, and possibly be willing to learn  
and contribute?

[Tutor] mentorship

2012-03-02 Thread Christopher Conner

Hello folks -

I'm a little lost and seek a mentor to accelerate the learning curve  
associated with open-source development, with python in particular but not  
exclusively.


I've been an computer enthusiast / amateur programmer for 20 years. Too,  
in the past few years I've researched a variety of related topics:  
historical computer culture, modern security and cryptography, Linux  
administration and the philosophy of software development.


I also have some working knowledge of apache, website design and a compsci  
degree from 10 years ago.


NOW WHAT? HELP!

I've got some free time and I feel like I should pick an open source  
project and begin contributing, but the options are just staggering. I've  
narrowed things down to the Python language - maybe the Plone project?  
maybe helping with documentation at first? Maybe testing?


I welcome any suggestions on any point or question given.
