Editing Fetching scripts (section)

== Implementation ==

* This will obviously be written in Python.
* We'll probably make use of some screen scraping library. I don't know the state of the art here, but I've seen at least the following, and would love some comments:
** Generic interfaces
*** [http://scrapy.org scrapy] (looks reasonable, [https://github.com/clofresh/couch-crawler/blob/master/python/couchcrawler/spiders/wiki.py this page] may also be useful.
*** [http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ Beautiful Soup]
*** [http://lxml.de lxml]
*** [http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ mechanize]
*** [http://code.google.com/p/webscraping/ webscraping]
*** urllib(2?) with regular expressions for that old-school feel?
** Specific interfaces
*** [http://pywikipediabot.sourceforge.net/ PyWikipedia]
*** <s>[http://code.google.com/p/python-wikitools/ python-wikitools] (this looks good to me!)</s> can never be bundled with PyMOL due to GPL v3.
*** [http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=wikipedia Other pages listed here]
