Kent has pointed you at useful add-on modules. Using the standard library consider the urllib2 library (way better than urllib) and I believe the email module rather than the smtlib is the current preferred route. But I'd still recommend Beautiful Soup for parsing the HTML the HTMLParser module can be used but its less reliable and more work. PS. I'm currently writing a tutorial topic on this very subject and I'm trying to use the standard libs for the first time (since I want my tutor to be based on the standard library) and it's proving to be a "learning opportunity"! -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
