Of course, just as its possible to do it in any other language. In fact there are several specialist libraries available to make the task easier. It may not be legal however and the web site may have taken steps to prevent you from succeeding or at least make it very difficult. But that has nothing to do with Python, it would be just as difficult in any language. So, if you are having difficulty the problem likely lies with 1) your code and how you are using the tools. 2) the website you are scraping having anti-scraping measures in place. But since you haven't shown us any code ewe can't really comment or make any suggestions. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
