Hi. I'm creating a test py app to do a quick crawl of a couple of pages of a psoft class schedule site. Before I start asking questions/pasting/posting code... I wanted to know if this is the kind of thing that can/should be here..
Probably. we are targeted at beginners to Python and focus on core language and standard library. If you are using the standard library modules to build your app then certainly., If you are using a third party module then we may/may not be able to help depending on who, if anyone, within the group is familiar with it. In that case you may be better on the <whichever toolset you are using> forum.
The real issues I'm facing aren't so much pythonic as much as probably dealing with getting the cookies/post attributes correct. There's ongoing jscript on the site, but I'm hopeful/confident :) that if the cookies/post is correct, then the target page can be fetched..
Post sample code, any errors you get and as specific a description of the issue as you can. Include OS and Python versions. Use plain text not HTML to preserve code formatting. If it turns out to be way off topic we'll tell you (politely) where you should go for help. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
