Also, urllib allows you to grab the HTML directly from the website. I've posted some code that extracts links from Google News. I would contribute in SourceForge, but I'm busy with another project. You can get some idea from my GoogleNewsParser code, though. http://coding.mu/archives/2004/03/27/google_news_parser_in_python Why not subclass SGMLParser for parsing the HTML code?

And, of course, as soon as it is tidied, I can use a proper XML parser (like expat) and it makes my code easier to write and to maintain. The difficult part is the second part of the program. I am thinking about reading the XML produced and build a web of objects with semantic links between them (like same category, same duration, same channel...). Then using a proper graph traversal algorithm, the application should be able to propose a TV program based on what the user has seen before.

Maybe I should contribute some code after all :-) Uhm, this is getting interesting. Maybe I should contribute some code after all :-)
