That is why I am trying to understand what my options are for chunked data and hopefully running the response data through a JSON decoder ring. I want well-known data structure objects. I believe it to be possible. I just do not know how to get there from here. Everybody may agree that doing it this way, and further, extracting this data from text with regex is the cornerstone of a poor implementation. My current journey is to learn a better way. :-) Thank you -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
