Hi Python UK, I hope it's appropriate to give a little plug here to something I've been working on recently.
At OpenCorporates [0], we've been working on a platform for running bots to scrape and structure public data data. We're launching it by setting a target to get 10 million data points about companies into OpenCorporates in the next 10 days. If you feel like trying it out -- you can write scrapers in Python -- or giving non-codey feedback, the campaign homepage [1] links to lists of scrapers that we've suggested, and the tool itself with documentation lives here [2]. If there is a dataset you think we should we should be scraping, or you have any other ideas or feedback for #FlashHacks, please let me know, preferably via our mailing list [3] but just email me otherwise. Do get in touch! Peter [0] http://opencorporates.com [1] http://missions.opencorporates.com [2] http://turbot.opencorporates.com [3] http://turbot.opencorporates.com/docs/support
